Uncle Matt, those must be Northern Illinois deer. I know down here in Southern Illinois are deer are weak and skrawny.
I hunt Union Co. maybe you can spook them over to me

Brino, my Uncle just bought a place outside of Salem. That is Marion county, by you, right? I think I'll be down there the weekend of the 27th & 28th to help him out some. Gotta see what the property looks like for hunting.

And yes those are NE IL deer. I'm gonna try and get the "boss" buck on digital this year. I think I know his areas, and he should be better than last year. He had a rack that went all over the place with too many points to figure out in the limited time he let's himself be exposed. Non-typical.

They look kind of tiny don't they?
Nice antlers, but antlers don't taste so good.[:'(]

Uncle Matt has some big daddy bucks in his neck of the woods. They are impressive!

brino

Matt is he from Salem ? I live 15 mins from there.
Don't you hunt in Johnson county during shotgun season ?

uncle matt

Yes Brino, I do Johnson for my sole shotguning and some bow. Alot of bow around the local here. But my Unc just bought this place in Salem. It is going to be his "summer home" where he and his wife can escape the FL sun.

I want to scope it ok a bit to see what the deer potential might be. He doesn't really plan to stay up here past end of maybe say Sept.

Wouldn't be right to miss an opportunity to set a few more stands and blinds. Leave no stone unturned.
