Title: IL Buck Shed
Post by: letinmfly on February 27, 2011, 11:28:57 AM
My buddy in IL found this shed last week on the property I hunt.  He scored this side at 73" and with a matching side this 8 pointer would rough score at 166" with a 20"spread.  :o  For comparison the rack he's holding is an 8 point that scored 143".

No trail cam pics.  We had no idea this guy was around and my buddy scouts just about every day of the year.  This buck must have an underground bunker somewhere.  :lol:
I have the measurements at home and I'll post them when I get back.

I'd like to see him next season!!!  If he survives and becomes a 10 and with a little more mass he should be a 190" class typical.
