Joel Eggers 211 Typical Archery Whitetail Buck
November 6th, 2007 David King - King's Outdoor World
This could very well be the whitetail buck of the year as far as typical is concerned. Hunter Joel Eggers arrowed this monster 11-point Illinois buck in Randolph County on October 23rd. As you can see the deer’s body is huge and the rack is just as big. So far the unofficial green score comes in at 211 gross and 198 41/8 net typical P&Y. We’ll have to wait until the end of December to see how the official score pans out.
Joel is just 22-years old and had picked up the sheds to this buck and had been chasing it for the lasts couple of years.
This won’t be the Illinois state record, however, it will one of the top bucks in the state and very well could be the highest scoring net typical whitetail deer taken in 2007…we’ll have to see.

Joel,
Kudos on a fantastic Whitetail. That is what makes us Oregonians drool….Yeah we have Big Muleys, Elk, and some very cagey blacktails running aound but that is one mean looking deer! Big typical bucks are hard to come by, fellow archer to fellow acher…..GREAT JOB! Great looking trophy.
