So, if you ever find yourself in East Peoria, IL try to stop by the Bass Pro Shop. Besides the usual huge selection of sporting goods, they have the following display as you enter the building.

Taken with a Howatt recurve, Microflite fiberglass arrows, and a Zwicky broadhead in Peoria County, IL - pretty cool.

Cool mount. Do you know if that's the original set of antlers or a cast?

Wow!!! Never knew that and I lived in Peoria when I was younger.

Wow, I was just thinking of the "Johnson Buck" the other day! Pretty cool

One of my all time favorite Whitetials and a great story as well! Absolutely astonishing! The stuff dreams are made of

Matty I didn't notice if there was anything mentioned about the horns being cast or original, but I wasn't paying much attention to that either.
I'm glad my wife and I stopped in, we were in Peoria on a college visit for my son and had a couple hours to kill. I noticed the Bass Pro from the interstate and suggested we go there. My wife wasn't really excited with the idea, but she actually thought it was neat once we got there. I haven't been to other Bass Pros around the country, but this one was huge! I didn't notice the deer display until we were leaving.

I wonder if Old Mel called his equipment Traditional??? :confused:

The wonderful thing about that buck is it is the archery world record. PERIOD!. Thru all the horn porn and 100% dedicated whitetail "assassins", "thugs", and ""specialists" with their supplements, 24/7 surveillance, and unlimited time on managed properties, not to mention 100 yard 80% compounds, no one has entered a better typical whitetail.

That is awesome...

Back in the days when Men were Men, Bows were Bows, and Bowhunting was just..... BOWHUNTING!!!!!

I agree Steve. Very Impressive. the fact they cannot seem to even culture deer like that is a tribute to the class of this animal!

Was lucky enough to meet Mr. Johnson at the Compton event in Blue Springs, Mo. Last spring. He sat next to me at the banquet and had no idea who he was until he was introduced during the nights festivities. Very nice gentleman. And awesome deer.

Hmmm, No string "silencers".....

Posted this over on Trad History & Collecting. Ever notice the absence of string silencers, in the old films & pictures???

(Personaly, I think they're UGLY! but they get the job done!!!)

Perhaps unneeded though... As shown by this Awesome Buck!!!!!

Amazing animal, and so cool that it was taken with simple gear. Wouldn't it be great if (when...only a matter of time imo) a better buck is taken it's also taken with a stickbow?
