MUD's Illinois shotgun buck

Got this dude Friday morning at 6:40 a.m.It seemed like deer activity has finally been up this week.He came through chasing 3 does and I got him to stop at about 60 yards,which is a pretty good poke for a shotgun with open sights.He is not the biggest deer in the woods,but I couldn't be happier.I've been passing little bucks for about 3 years now and this bad boy is going to make a beautifull mount.

He's a dandy 8 point and perfectly symetrical.His tines are a little short,so I don't know if he will go 130 or not,but really don't care what he scores.He's a trophy to me.

congrats on a nice deer. a trohpy is truely a trophy if it has a special place in your heart. a spike or doe can have as much, if not more, meaning to a hunter than a big 12 point

6:40 am?!?! Man you guys must get light real soon over across the line over there. We would be shooting in the dark over here in Indiana at 6:40am.

Our hunting hours are 1/2 hour before sunrise to sunset,which means last weekend shooting time started at around 6:20 or so.By 6:30 it's getting pretty light out.
