Lots of bone in IL

[Guest ILclimber]

My buddy and I were back home from college this weekend and we cleaned house or the woods. We hunt different pieces of property so we went to my place on Sat and found a dead 8 pointer which kind of sucks, because he was probably a 120 and next year he would have been a dandy. Then Sunday we went to his place and found 7 sheds, 6 coming from this year and 1 from last year. We walked and walked and walked and didn't find a thing so we hopped on the wheeler and found all the sheds in cut been fields and CRP from the wheeler it was awesome. At one point we found 3 in 3 minutes it was kind of ridiculous! But i did see a couple of bucks this weekend that still had both sides. Is anyone else having this kind of luck in IL?

I have done prety good so far. I think 15 so far. i still see lots of deer still packin but they could drop any time.In fact I spooked up a heard of about 35 deer the other day and there were 8 bucks. Three bald one massive 10pt a good 9pt and 8pt a small 8pt and little 4pt with only right side. As I spooked them I watched to see if any lost there antlers as the ran and bounded away. I didn;t exactly see it happen but as I followed their exscape I found the right side to the 4pt.I spend alot of time watching the deer in my hunting area and have been waiting to watch one drop in front of me. I am getting closer to my goal. I also have right sides of two out of three bald bucks haven't scored them yet but they are heavy.Good luck to all of you if you find some more let us know.
