BIG 10 point
 One of my co-workers hunts IL every fall, and one of the guys who hunts with the TV crew that he does killed this monster. Inside spread was just over 27"... gd

Looks like a great deer but I think someone took the liberty to turn a good deer into something it's not. When I first look at this picture it's one hell of a deer. BUT, the G1's and G2's are the same points on both sides, mirrored onto each other. When I disect the pic, it looks as if the guy shot a great 8 point, and someone did some photo shop work to make it the picture that we're seeing. I could be wrong and still congratulate the hunter but I think it's a great job of reworking a picture.

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! gd

That's an awesome deer. I hope one of the little guys shot it! Either way, they look like they're having fun and that's what we all need. The tape measure pic shows the whole story....that's a wide deer. And maybe even helps verify the fact that there are some super wide genes in that area. Great deer and great pics...I wish I had buddies like yours!

BB,
It wasn't one of the kids. I grew up with their dad, and it was his neighbor that shot the buck. The young guy on the right in the fist picture took his first buck this fall - a nice young 6 point. One of these times, I need to get out there and do some deer hunting. Hopefully sooner than later... gd
