For those of you who were wondering how Tom Hedke’s story could be any better; here is HOW! Pictured above is Boone Bergsma (8 pointer) and his dad Doug and his 14 pointer. Boone also used a longbow to down his, while his dad used a compound. Both bucks were shot in Illinois, and Boone also got his kill on tape. I am not a offical scorer, but I do know how its done, and my estimate for Boone’s 8 point would be around 130 Pope and Young inches. His dad’s 14 pointer would gross around 155 if I’m seeing all the points on this “bad boy!” Tom’s 11 pointer grossed 160, so you have three bucks for the book!
When is the last time you heard of three hunters all bagging record class bucks with a bow and arrow? I don’t know if I ever remember such a feat being done! You all deserve a “well done” for such an accomplishment as this. There had to be quite a bit of skill and ability to pull this one off. You guys are the envy of every whitetail hunter who reads this blog.
As of today Tom Hedke is now in Indiana after another bruiser. You may have noticed I had to edit yesterday’s blog about Tom’s story. I reported the deer as being taken in Indiana and it actually was Illinois. My mistake, all those horns gave me “blogger’s fever!” Keep us posted Tom, Boone, (how appropiate is that name) and Doug. Again congratulations on doing something that most hunters only dream about!

I’m speechless, and extremely jealous.
They are even the envy of a mule deer hunter from out west, too! Great job guys!!
I thought you were suppose to only be on the property in October.
