A nice trophy! Some nice bucks there in Illinois.

I'd have never shot him cause I would have thought it was just a tree standing there. :D :D
Nice deer, congrats to the person.

Nice rack! Looks like an old buck.

That is a nice looking deer and like Norm said fairly old for a deer.
I was reading some statistics published my the Minnesota DNR, and according to them only 8% of all the deer registered in MN last season were over 3 1/2 years old. So a four year old is an old timer ;)
Also once a deer reaches a certain age (5 to 7) his rack starts to diminish each season so that the younger stronger bucks do the majority of the breeding.
That guy in the pics is in his prime.

   I wasn't aware that the deer HAD to register to live in Mn. ??? : ;D

[Timber_Framer]

 :D In our part of the woods they are illegal aliens. These woods were once only populated by Moose and Woodland Caribou. The deer followed the loggers who took most all of the virgin timber around the turn of the century and once this area reseeded mostly with aspen, white pine and white cedar all of which whitetails think is candy they moved in. Whitetails carry brain worm a parasite that while it doesn't effect the deer at all killed off all of the caribou and many of the moose so now we are overrun with those hoofed jackrabbits. So they must register or face deportantion at the end of a 30.06 ;D

  That's a tremendous buck .  They grow in Ohio like that too . I have seen them but never got one anywhere near that size .

[Buzz-sawyer]

I could hunt that farm if I wanted to....they killed several deer near that good this year also........

[Loggerbabe]

Wowee!  That's a HUGE rack!  I wish they grew that big out here in my neck of the woods.  A neighbor's got a huge bunch of mulies (at least 50) in part of his cropland.  I saw a couple of two-pointers the other day when I drove by.  They had some nice spreads for racks that size.

Welcome to the forum
I have been to your area near La Grande....and you all have some REALLY big deer .those elk! Those are the big guys..have you ever been over to Lagrande area?

[Loggerbabe]

Buzz-sawyer:  LaGrande is just down the road from me.  About a 40 min. drive.  Thanks for the compliment on big game.  Some day I'm going to bag a trophy.
