My brother, Nick Johnson, was lucky enough to harvest this big IL monster this past week. We went hunting in the morning and didn't see anything from the stand so Nick started leaving the woods. On his way out he saw a tall racked buck standing on the edge of the field. He tried calling/rattling but the buck never even flinched. It finally went out of sight in a little patch of tall grass on the edge of the field so after a few minutes he decided to walk that direction and see if he could stalk it because the wind was in his favor and the bright morning sun was directly behind him so the buck had to look into it in order to face his direction. Sure enough he got within 25 yards of the buck and saw the long tines sticking out of the grass. He got the buck to stand up and took an awesome shot to make short work of the big 9 pointer. Awesome hunt......any guesses on the score??  |

I wouldn't guess a score on a picture as they are deceiving. I would say it will probably hit the P&Y book easily. Nice buck!! What happened to the stomach? Here is a score sheet so you should be able to get it close. www.pope-young.org/ScoreSheets/T-WTC.pdf |
