BigBro,
I agree, the pic is a bit sketchy. It was sent from a cell phone, and I tried to scale it up a bit - with less than stellar results. As far as I know, it's a legitimate photo - this is 3rd hand, so I can't say 100%. If I can get a better photo, I will. My friend saw this buck last season at 40 yards - and had to pass because he'd already filled his tag. I'll try to get a better pic.
In the mean time... Got a pic from another area of IL - another very wide buck. Check it out.
Nice buck!
