Well I kicked off 2013 with a bang in Iowa with my pink TC, but it didn't take long for Team Member Darren Martin to follow suit! Darren knocked down this Illinois giant with his Barnett Crossbow! Darren, Pat, and I all had encounters with this bruiser throughout the year, and Darren was finally able to close the deal on January 4th! Congratulations Darren on a late season giant! Darrens wife, and Team Member Sherri Martin, also had a little luck in Illinois this year! On the last day that Sherri could gun hunt in Illinois, she harvested this 4 1/2 year old gnarly cull buck. Darren and Sherri do a great job of trying to manage the deer on their property, and it shows year after year! Congratulations Sherri on an awesome mature Illinois buck! Pat and I spent a lot of time in Illinois hunting with Darren and Sherri. They definitely put their time in, and it pays off! Hoping to get back down there for a few days between the ATA and SHOT shows to see if we can't have a little last minute luck on a big Illinois buck!   Nicole, Pat, & Driven Team
