Switchbacker Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 hey guys, Finally getting a chance to post my Illinois harvest, from november 6th. We were finding rubs on fence posts so we set up a stand on the edge of the nearest bedding area and I hunted it two nights later and this buck came out skirting the timber. He came around straight downwind and luckily i drenched myself in earth scent 3 times throughout the evening, because he stopped and gave me a few head bobs. I thought for sure the hunt was over, but he put his head back to the ground on my scent trail and cruised right around to around 24 yards where he was stuck by the switchback and ran about 50 yards into the CRP and piled up, like a dream. The outfitter allowed me to take the fencepost along so I could put it in the full body mount that's on the way! If your interested in the outfitter I'll answer any questions. You can bet Im going back next year. The buck ended up at 340 lbs, 184" gross, with 17 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: My Illinois 2006 Bow Kill Congrats on the deer. That is a nice one. Who was the outfitter that you used? My brother and myself are looking at going on one next year and just starting to get info on a bunch of outfitters. It would also be good to hear about success rate with everyone that was at our camp. Did you see other shooters and pass until this one came in? Thanks for any help.
