2006 Illinois Buck

Here's a few pictures of the buck I took 1st season with my Benelli Nova. For the second year in a row the Benelli paired with Hornaday SST slugs did a fantastic job.

Thanks!

Rack's not huge but it was a big bodied deer. None the less, he's tasty!

Unfortunately he had a broken brow tine but I thought he was still a good looking deer.
