I shot him in Saline County at 85 yards and he went 8 feet after being shot. Such a great hunt! Biggest buck yet. Scored almost 172.

This buck was shot on my property in Jefferson County, just 10 minutes after shooting light! When he came in I assumed it was a pesky squirrel or just a doe and then I seen him look around the tree and knew this was the one!

Shot it on my parents property down the road from our house Friday mid-morning sitting in the rain the only thing special about it is the first day that I've sat in a deer stand this year dear gods and luck was with me I was 30 minutes from leaving the stand to go to the house and get dry and then he showed up been watching this deer most of the year from my parents back porch

I have been hurting for several years I have gotten doe's but never a buck. On Sunday morning my son wanted to come along with me. We went out to the stand wasn't seeing anything for about two hours. Then we seen a buck on the left side of the stand walking away from us. I stood up got gun and got ready to shoot. The buck then turned to his left giving me a perfect shot. I shot and got him a eight point buck. My first buck kill.

This was my first ever hunt. Learned how to shoot crossbow about 3 weeks ago. I could see some and hear some rattling to the left over my shoulder on a hill. So I told my boyfriend and he started calling it in. The buck never came closer to the stand, but he told me if I got a clean shot just shoot. Finally got the buck to stop and I shot him at 51 yards out. I was shaking(I told my boyfriend it was because I was cold). I’m hooked

91 years old of Waltonville IL. Shot this 10 point buck on November 4th with a crossbow. The buck weighed 180 field dressed. I still hunt from a hang on tree stand!

13 point non typical killed in Bluford Illinois . Wasn’t my first hunt but my first big buck !!! When he walked under my tree I wasn’t sure exactly how big he was but after I shot him and found him he turned out very nice !!! My dopamine was thumping !!!!

I took this 8 point on October 5th in a standing bean field.. Most would say it’s just a typical buck, but in my opinion it is more than that… This 8 point is my first ever buck with a compound bow and will always hold a memory with me… Going to have it skull mounted so I can look at it and be able to tell the story of my first ever bow buck!

Very excited about this hunt ... I have been watching this buck all summer .. I go out Oct 2 sitting waiting on him but he doesn't come in my shooting range ... he lays down a little bit to far away .. Never seen him again until Oct 10th and that was the day .. He walked right in and gave me the shot... And I got him ... I am so happy...
