Few more mounts from this past fall . There are a few Illinois deer in there as we as the pheasants they are from a veteran hunt we do every year up in Illinois. Look up HOOAH Deer Hunt for Heros and see what all we do as far as hunting and fishing trips. Also have a couple really nice local deer mounted up waiting on them to dry so they can be finished. Anyone wanting turkey mount done please give me a shout I will be glad to do them for you. Thanks for checking these out.

Well Illinois never seems to surprise me with anything that happens during deer season. I had this buck come in last night and got a shot with about 20 minutes left of legal light. Not 100% sure on the hit so as the saying goes when in doubt back out and I did . We found him this morning about 100 yards past the last place i saw him . The damn old coyotes are bad up here so they got a good belly full of fresh deer meat but I still got the bone. Unfortunately he was prob a day or so from shedding his antlers as one came off in my hand just trying to lift his head to take a look. But went ahead a put a tape to him and came up with 190 7/8 in. Pictures don't do it justice at all the mass is awsome with 14 scoreable points no fence truly wild Illinois deer.
