Monster Illinois Buck Found Dead
BuckManager.com | Photo Gallery & Stories
Every deer hunter loves a monster buck story, so here is a new one about a big buck found dead in Illinois. Like the world’s record non-typicalwhite-tailed deer that was found dead in Missouri, two quail hunters found this big non-typical buck dead, but on a property near Petersburg, Illinois. The hunters had permission to hunt quail following deer season, but the most notable thing they brought home was the head and antlers of this massive buck which unofficially scored 246 Boone and Crockett inches.
The white-tailed buck was apparently caught on candid camera by a hunter’s game cam, but he apparently eluded hunters for yet another Illinois deer season. I do not know how old this big deer was, but preliminary reports state that no wounds were found on the deer, although coyotes had eaten on the carcass.

It does kind of make you wonder how many big bucks live, die, and are never found at all!

THAT’S A MONSTER!!! I live in Scottville, Michigan, and I am lucky if I can even get a buck, but I guess I need to hunt a little harder. Nice!
