Eric and Chris jumped straight back up into a tree at Illinois connection the next day after Chris took his great buck. The Virginia boys climbed into a classic rut stand that was situated on a ridge between a picked bean field and thick security cover. Doug Bennefield of Illinois connection told the boys that there were a couple of very mature 8 pts. on this farm that he would love to get killed. Just after daylight, a Big ole mature 8pt ran a doe by the stand. Eric made a quick decision that he was very mature and that he had very long brows. Eric got the old buck to stop and made short work of him. He ran only 30 yards and fell over on film. Illinois was good to the LOF Crew yet again.
