It's time for me to go home and catch up on some sleep, but the full story with photos is up. Grossed him out today at just shy of 130 even with 3 busted tines. Would've been in the mid 140's if he had a full rack. Basic 5x5 with a triple brow on his right side. Shot him Saturday morning at about 9:15. 25 yard shot, double lunged him, 125 yard recovery, and about 3/4 of a mile drag back to the truck. The full story is here: http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post/Halloween-Buck-Down-in-Illinois!.aspx And the video will be in Bowhunt or Die Episode 5 which will be posted on Friday. Thank you, and good night. :D
Congrats again buddy! Was happy to get the call that morning. Now, kill one up north so we can spend some time in a tree together later next week! (Wait, I hope to be tagged out by then)
Congrats on a great buck! Too bad he's all busted up, but he's a really good mature buck! Glad you were able to find what you were looking for after passing up that 8 earlier in the season.
Congrats again on achieving your goal, and good luck with that second tag. Looks like he may have gotten an eye injury when he got broken up.
"BIG BUCK DOWN" loved the text on Sunday. Now - it's mine turn to reply. Good luck this weekend. Neal
