Nice Illinois 8 point.

[sniperp1]

Hello all,
It's been a few.. I moved about two months ago & haven't had access to the net till about a week ago. I'm back on dial-up:( no high speed here!:confused:

Anyway, just thought I'd post some pics of the big 8 point I saw the other night. It's not the one I've been after forever but, I'd shoot him just the same! lol

I think the big 8 I've been after is either dead, or has went down hill & looks different, I have yet to see him this year!?

I have video of this big boy, but I can't upload it on dial-up. If I can find someone w/high-speed internet I'll upload it & post a link to it.

About dark & in the rain running does.:D
Enjoy, Phil B.

Nice buck! Looks like some good height (length) on all tines. Are the pics recent?

Steverino,
Yes, I took these on 12-29-05, these pics don't do him any justice though.. he is much bigger than he looks in the pics! He has great mass, hight & width. I'm trying to get some better pics of him but, he comes out so late (about dark) & it's hard to get any good clear photos of him.. plus, he's about a 1/4 mile away.

If I get some better pics, I'll post them ASAP.

I took this one a couple days after I took the one of the buck above, It's a nice looking 10 point I spotted just down the road from the 8 point. Both of them should be nice next season!
Later, Phil B.

Phil,

Looks like a couple of great looking deer! Hope you can track down the big one you were after too!

if you wanted a GOOD picture of him you'd ground check him and get a closeup.

Only a quarter mile away? You had better start practicing with the rifle at that range for next year. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Great deer and good luck next season.
