I put together the story of my trip to IL. Those of you that know me from my years on this site know that this is a big moment for me and I wanted to share it with you all. I know I haven't been around to post as much as in the past due to my job, but I'm still on here reading and keeping tabs on you all. Please take a look. I know it's long but you can skip to the juicy stuff. Best of luck all. Shoot straight. http://truecountrywhitetails.com/2012/11/13/il-buck-down-taken-in-the-11th-hour/
That is an awesome story and a great buck buddy, glad everything worked out for you, couldn't have happened to a better guy!
Congratulations Bry, when I saw your username, I smiled... great buck... some giant Rob bucks in there too... great trip... again, many congrats.
Awesome read, congrats again! I bet your son was as excited as you were, he'll look good on his wall.
The pics got firewalled on me but great story and congratulations. I love it when someone's stick-to-itiveness pays off with a great reward.
A lot of familiar names in these replies. It's great to hear from you guys and thanks so much for the congrats. As you all know one of the best parts of a successful hunt in sharing it with your hunting buds.
