Keep an eye out for those down-tynes Mike!

Saw a big buck in Dundee last year that had a perfectly horizontal rack with five points each side in excellent symmetry. Would have liked to find that set!

Can't believe I'm saying to a guy.... "Nice Rack"!!!

I assume you don't take your detector out when you are looking for these.

Did you go out on Sunday?

Wow Mike, GREAT shed!! . . . and photo!

I found one last year under a tree. . . only three points. . . I ended up
giving it to a kid who was walking with his parents in the woods.

I'm making a body suit out of mine. Then I'm gonna rent myself out as a lawn aerator, rolling across yards and picking up some cash on the side.....

Just a little FYI, etrac007 you can make finding nice racks easier by harvesting your own! All you need is some chicken wire and you might need wire with a little bigger openings in it, experiment and see what works best for you! Take your wire and make a V-shaped pattern (like around a tree) starting from the ground to say about 2 or 3 feet high and 2-3 feet back around each side of tree! You need to make your V- shaped pattern just a little bit bigger than the average size of racks you have there in Illinois! Then keep a bottomless corn pile there in between your wire V-frame all winter! Then the big bucks come in to eat some nice corn and there racks are very brittle in the cold and the racks on the deer bump or get stuck in the wire and the horns lay there for easy pickin! Happy Huntin
