2023 Illinois Firearm Deer Season

Had great success this year in the field. Had some mishaps too but that's how it goes. In the end, I'm thankful for both.

Congrats Rod on your successful season. Man you grow em different down south! That buck would be a buck of a lifetime in the UP of Michigan.

Thanks Mike! Yep, they are corn fed here! Lol! A lot of guys around here would let all these bucks I shoot walk. I’m as much a meat hunter as a trophy hunter. Appreciate ya watching!
