Killed my biggest buck with my bow 11-13-22 at 3:45 pm. He came in behind me in this big bottom I was in that was between a corn field and soy bean field. He came in and was working his way off to my right away from me. I hit my grunt call a few times and he finally turned and started coming in. He got on my trail I walked in on and started following it. I had put doe pee on my boots before I walked in and he had his nose to the ground following that until he got to my left and presented me with a 41 yard shot. Double lunged him and he ran 75-100 yards before dying in a creek. Was my first time hunting illinois and I'm hooked now.
