Illinois Giant.....
This was emailed by a friend. You may have already seen it and I have no idea about the story. All I can say is WOW!

Rumor says it was taken in Illinois this season.

Would you get that mounted? Can you imagine having to look at that every day?

Geez, I'd get nothing done if that was hanging on my wall, I would just be staring at it all the time.

Joel Eggers found the sheds of this giant typical for two of the previous three years, but hadn't been able to take the elusive animal. His luck changed this year when he was able to arrow the trophy in Randolph County. With a reported field dressed weight of 251 lbs, and a net green score of 198-1/8, this fine trophy will likely be one of the largest typical whitetails ever taken with a bow.

There were several taken during the gun seasons that dwarf this one, which is obviously one awesome buck.
