Ilbowman Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Hey forum members and good hunting friends of the Oitkers. Randy has scored on a nice buck on his home farm in Adams County Illinois!! I will be posting the full story, and some pics for him shortly since he is blowing and going in the land of the giants in west central Illinois in search of another BBD! Details soon!!Ryan Here is a sample story on the buck, and Randy himself will give ya the rest when he gets some time between chasing down another shooter and farming with his dad! Randy shot a nice main frame 10pt with a sweet kicker off the right g2. We were hunting about 300 yrds apart and had been seeing about a 140 class running does about 4:00pm. The action that afternoon was pretty good and we think the rut is kicking into full swing in that area. at about 5:00 pm Randy heard "crunch crunch" coming through the timber to his right and out of no where this buck shows up and Randy put an AWESOME!!!! shot on this buck!! He backed out of the area cause it got dark fast and gave the buck about 4 hours to expire but I guarantee you with the shot he put on this buck he died within minutes of the shot!! Most of you know that Randy hunts his family farm pretty hard in between traveling with doing shows and hunting all accross the country, so this buck means alot to him and his dad. This is the biggest buck he has taken off of the farm and I will tell from personal expierence and privelage to hunt the farm with Randy that it is a huge accomplishment for Randy to take this caliber of deer off this farm with all of the pressure that happens in this area... Pics will come as soon as I figure out how to take them off my email... any suggestions on how to post them would be greatly appreciated. I finally got a pic attached of this brute!! The body on this deer was huge and we guessed he was live weight at 300lbs!!!!! Ryan Edited November 15, 2008 by Ilbowman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
