New Illinois Record Bow Buck?
By Scott Bestul
Last week, Field Notes guru Dave Hurteau did a great profile (and an exclusive, I might add) on what will likely be the Ohio state record muzzleloader buck. And just recently, another buck profiled on this site—a monster from Wisconsin—unseated last year’s “Field & Stream buck” for top honors as the largest Badger State bow-killed non-typical.
Well it’s too early to call the shot on this deer, but the buzz is that the buck pictured above may threaten the Illinois bow-killed non-typical record. The current Prairie State non-typical record is 267”, and I’ve had two different sources tell me this buck will be very close to that mark. We’ll have to wait for the 60-day drying period for an official measurement, and to the best of my knowledge that won’t occur until sometime January.
The only other information I have on this buck is that it was killed by Chris Kiernan after a two-year campaign. The buck was shot near the town of Morris, Illinois last month. Anyone with further details, feel free to chime in!

Wow. That's a nice one
that buck sort of looks like the hole in the horn buck that is awesome that is definitely one of the best bucks
That's a lot of bone.
Record or not that is an amazing deer. after all the poaching of trophies that we have heard about lately its good to see a trophy taken legally by a true hunter. congrats
I just love these non typicals like this! they're like snowflakes, no two are alike!
That thing is a BEAST!
Good grief what a brute! Nice photo too.
Wonder what he'll score?

Wow! What a point collection!
That is a serious deer. His antlers are bigger than all of my deer put together.
What a BRUISER! I wouldn't care a bit if it wasn't the record. That deer is impressive!
The deer is supposed to have 27 points and green score 277 3/8.
Awesome Chris!!!
Up here in the Quad Cities, we call that a walking hedge tree. I would have fell out of my tree if he walked by. Hope you get the record!
Amazing deer. Would love to see one in the wild with a configuration like that. The Good Lord doesn't make many of that caliber.
Awesome buck!!! Everytime I see a new potential record. Shows deer management works.
I mean everytime I get on this website I read about a new potential record.
im curious to see the other side he is a huge deer and a total freak lets see a photo story lol!
I have posted a head on view of this deer under user photos. Didn't know how to get it on this thread but maybe you can find it and get a better look at this magnificent buck!
I dont know what id do with that! That would prob be the buck of a lifetime I dont see him getting anything bigger. Id get a full mount of that one
that deer would scare the crap out of me! then i would shoot it! what a trophy! if it green scored 277, it very well could be the new record.
A few weeks ago someone started the rumor that this buck was killed in our area (southwest Wisconsin). One friend of mine was disapointed that "his" big buck was dead. Then we found out that this deer was taken in illinois and someone else had taken his (smaller) big buck. :D Deer stories....
