Holding out for Mr. Big...

[Mrmonte]

I like that buck alot. Real wide and the drops and junk look good on that thing! Impressive buck for sure.

Don't blame him for holding out, skipping nice bucks is a hard thing to do. Kudos to him!

Congrats! thats great

If it's bigger than my third largest dog, it's down.

High standards you got there.
I try to avoid shooting the ones with spots, but damn, they're just so easy to carry.

Here is one he held out for.....

So, did he shoot it...Or are they just hanging out taking goofy pictures of each other?

 

[vwarren]

is that a shotgun in the pic?

Guns? In Illinois? Didn't know they were allowed behind the iron curtain.

Good for him. Good buck....and he still has a tag for a bigger one here in IN

He still has a archery tag in Illinois - a two buck state..

I've only ever seen a rack like that in magazines and on the interwebz...maybe this year...

 

[Willie]

The buck scored 165" with both drops 5 1/2". Inside spread was 23 1/2".

 

[vwarren]

That's a stud for sure

 

[HICKMAN]

what a cool looking buck

And tasty too! They're called short grass deer because if they were in tall grass you wouldn't have seen them.

I decided to hold out for something bigger this year as well, but I've not seen anything worth holding out for. I keep hoping the wife gets her first buck. She wasn't quick enough this morning and one walked away. At least she didn't spray and pray!

 

[Willie]

He just got the mount back from his taxidermist...

 

[ISP 5353]

Nice looking mount!
