    Default ANother IL Giant falls

    THIS IS NOT ME OR MY DEER....this is what i know.

    Got this pic from my boss at the preserve. Evidently this buck was taken in Ogle Co, IL just north of Byron...The only part of the story i know is the guy in the pic sat in another guys stand who hunts the same farm...that guy wasn't planning on hunting that stand for another week and a half due to the fact that he knew this giant was in the area...needles to say, the guy who didn't want to hunt the stand is livid...i can't use the words he said in the email...lol...Oh well, you snooze you lose i guess...guessing he'll go 215-220...He was taken saturday evening 10/17

    That is the problem redkneck! All the outfitters are moving here too and it is tougher to get a spot to hunt unless you own your own land. I can not wait to own. One day I will though. The biggest MONSTER I saw so far this year is that little 4 pointer I posted a while back. LOL


    TO THE HUNT!

    Awesome buck!!!

    I'll bet there's going to be a little discussion between the guy that owns and hung the stand and that guy. Sounds like the guy in the pic didn't have permission to hunt the other guy's stand but we don't know what the hunting arrangements are between the people hunting that farm.

    Well I'm pretty content where I am I guess, our little area (4 counties or so) usually comes up with a few in the 170's each year. There's plenty of studs over on the river, I just never get over there to hunt, though I should.

    That is a nice buck.
    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
