ilhnter Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Illinois gun season was good to us. No monsters, but we all killed a buck and now have some good meat in the freezer. My wife who was 6 months pregnant during the season shot her 4 pt opening morning around 7am and made a perfect shot on him. I was sitting with her and around 830 am we had another small buck come by. I put a good shot on him and we both had sm bucks on the ground. We saw 8 deer that morning including a good buck, but he never got close enough and also had a doe at 10 yds that busted us at the last minute. The last pic is of my dad and his nice 7 pt that he shot opening morning of second season. I was sitting about 25 yds from him that morning and got to watch the whole thing. The buck came down the ridge and across the bottom to within 15 yds when my dad smoked him. I was happy to just see some deer and get one on the ground considering bow season was extremely slow for me. I only had one sm buck in bow range all season and passed on him. Congrats everyone on all the kills and good luck to those still hunting!
