Illinois hunting and fishingKiernan arrows Illinois record NT buck

Mon, February 08 at 06:30 AM

All signs indicate the 37-point buck Chris Kiernan (at right) shot on Nov. 1, 2009 netted 268 1/8 inches, which would make the Kendall County giant the Illinois archery non-typical record.

That would better Dave Jones' current record bowkill of 267 1/8 inches for a 36-point Mason County buck shot on Nov. 5 of 2003.

Picture of the Day

Illinois hunting and fishing

Al Schultz of Annawan shot this buck in Putnam County, Mo. on the second day of that state’s rifle season. The buck was a 10-pointer with three tines broken. Schultz has been hunting in Missouri for 15 years and writes, “Each year the bucks have been getting bigger since the new limits on bucks (4 points on one side or better).”
