ILSNIPER1 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hi All, Just thought I'd say hello & introduce myself, I'm from Central, IL, I'm 31 & I've been hunting sense I was about 7, I spend most of my time hunting whitetail's & arrowheads. The buck in my Avatar is the one I've been after for 4 years now, he's a big 8 point w/matching kickers on his G2's, I almost got a shot at him in 2001 (same year I took this pic) but, he busted me rattling & never gave me a clear shot. In 2003 I had another chance at him & ended up shooting the wrong deer, I think it might have been do to just a little "buck fever" & not looking at the rack & shooting the wrong buck. Anyway, I have seen him several time's this year but, not in or around my hunting ground, I did get some pics of him this year in June & July, this year he has 5 points on the left & 4 points on the right plus 7 other kickers. He's a big boy & I hope to someday get a third shot at him! Can you upload pics from your computer or do you have to have them online? Thanks. Phil B.

Tominator Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Hello All. Welcome! Yeah, I've seen big deer like that too. It looks about the same too--you know, running away flipping you off with the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSNIPER1 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Hello All. Whitetailkiller, Shotgun & muzzleloader only, I'm not a gun hunter. I've only ever used my bow (recurve) deer hunting. My brother is in the military & came home the last couple of years for a week & we did some hunting w/our bows, both times he was home if he would have been hunting w/a shotgun he could have gotten a shot at a nice buck. One was quiet a bit bigger than the buck in the pic is! So, he said next time he's going to buy my dad & I & himself shotgun tags & were all going to go. I told him "I'll just shoot a doe.. but, If a nice buck shows up, I guess I'd shoot him." lol Later, Phil B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSNIPER1 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Re: Hello All. MUDRUNNER, Mostly Champaign Co. Go to the link below, I've got some photos of that same buck in velvet this year in June & July. You should see him now.. he's just awesome! I snapped some pics of him just two days ago but, he was quiet a ways off & the current camera I have SUCKS & only has 4X zoom. If they turn out I'll post them & let everyone know. There are also some pics of a couple deer I shot & a couple other bucks I've seen in the area.
