hoyt19 Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Last Friday was prolly one of the worst weather days Ive ever had hunting, and was sure the worst opening day for shotgun season ive had. It was 35-40 degress, heavy fog, misting, wind blowing 15-25. Add that onto how bad I was suffering from the flu I thought about staying in bed and not going out. IM very happy I went out. I saw this guy across the ridge from me working down to a creek bottom where he beds down. He never made it. The week prior to shotgun season Id seen this deer, with 13 scoreable points. When I got him is G2 and G3 on his right side we broken and his right main bean was broken after his G4. Still will probably score in the mid 140's with his 10 points now. We weighed him and had him aged at the check station here in Jo Daviess county, 6.5 years old and 285 dressed. PICS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnatecsteve Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Re: First ML Monster from IL Nice buck!! Its' funny how things work out sometimes. I've had some of my best luck hunting on last minute hunts, days when I didn't want to get out of bed, when I hunted a stand closer to the truck because I was too lazy to walk to the far stands... bet it made that flu feel not as bad!! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrick_White Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Re: First ML Monster from IL Nice deer. I've heard about Jo Davies county, but only from kill numbers. I'm located in Northern Pike. [ QUOTE ] Last Friday was prolly one of the worst weather days Ive ever had hunting, and was sure the worst opening day for shotgun season ive had. It was 35-40 degress, heavy fog, misting, wind blowing 15-25. [/ QUOTE ] Yep nasty hunting weather. We didn't have the wind though. I actually busted my glasses frame that morning wiping off the lenses so I could see. I ended up with 3 deer first season; 2 yearlings and a 3 yr old doe all with my Omega. Saturday was much better hunting weather. Got a muzzleloader tag left so I'm gonna hold for a buck. It's looking like better hunting then.
