I wish I was the one who took one or both of these bucks but I wasn't. I was at church this morning and got these pictures about 3 minutes apart on my phone. One from a friend of mine and one from my mom.
The first one is my cousin Richie who shot this big ole buck yesterday on some outfitters ranch in Loraine, Il. Not sure of the stats on him but he is big. By the way, Richie lives in Bainbridge, GA. He took my uncle up to hunt in Il this year.
The second one is my friend Alan's nephew. Again, I'm not sure of the stats but this ones a MONSTER. :eek It was taken somewhere in Northern Il yesterday as well.
On both, there has to be some kind of supplimental feeding going on. Not sure if the outfitter ranch is fenced in but man, they grow'em big up there.
those are a couple bruisers!!
A buddy of mind has used that "Big Neck" outfitters. Reputable people as long as you know what you're getting into. They are a high fence operation but his only complaint was the size of the land parcels. They say they have 3000 acres or whatever but they don't tell you it's divided up into a dozen or so farms ranging from 10 to 300 acres and you get put where they decide.
WOW!
WOW!
X2!!
