Well the guy that owns the property right next to where I hunt had 8 guys out pushing for him, they pushed all the property and some behind his, the two properties mine and his literally touch...him and his buddies killed 8 bucks. 2 Pope and young big bucks and a bunch of 1 1/2 deer. Got a 12 point with a drop tine, a 10 point with 10" g1's, and 4 six points and two spikes....sad day to me. Thats a lot of bucks for where I hunt, I'm sick to my stomache about it. Our herd just got smacked...[:(] How long in your guys opinion until we see nice ones again, 2-3-maybe even 4 years?
-hey bang think I can come to illi next year? lol but I'm serious [:(]

Well, It looks like buckeys not coming to Illinois now [xx(] next year but we'll see what we can do to get you here. I can definately hook you up with some state ground hunting and place to stay. where that will be we'll need to wait til closer to next season to sea.
How much "roughin it" can you take. I mean my place isn't really "roughin" it cause I have power but no running water.
The state ground by my place down south we'll have to talk to Dren boy about cause I have never hunted it but I believe and could be wrong but I think that is where he got his 160" from.
I bow hunt all season, then opening day of gun, another group of hunters always come in and drive all day. This year they killed 11 deer, mostly button bucks, spikes and 4 pointers. They manage to kill a nice 9 pointer.
I call them "Killers" - not "Hunters"
If we're talkin under 300 bucks I'm in, I would probobly just drive down if that'd be okay, get your number just get a good map and be on my way.

If I was you, I'd find a place around Peoria, Every year at the deer classic there are big'uns that come from there.
I'd have to look to know for sure but I think they are just over $400.

A GUN I wouldent worry too much other mature bucks will move into that area. Although I personally dont agree with that hunting meathod sounds like they are just gun hunters and thats how they hunt.
I have one opening for north dakota... anyone interested???

north central north dakota about 1 hour out of Minot 30 miles from the Manitoba boader. includes all meals guides airport pick up
Oct 5th -- 11th 2008 $2000 plus plane fare and licence I tink the licence is 200 so I thinking when all is said and done about $2700-$3000 a bit pricey but I have been to North dakota 3 tims and the hunting is awsome..www.dakotawhitetail.com
I could be wrong hard to tell from a pic but what...maybe 3?
Nose isn't squared or very long. would need to check the teeth on the chart but I don't think its any older than 3 maybe a bit younger.
Don't cry its just a baby. He needed a few more years to grow. Just hope he spread some genetics and they let them grow next time.[:D]

looks like a 3 yr old. couple more years for him would have been nice.
He had a pretty nice drop! I saw a big bull with a nice drop, about 9" or better but I had done takin mine for the year.
Nice spread, congrats!
