Zettler Buck-Chicago Sunday Sun-Times

While reading the Sunday edition Of the Sun-Times Re: Dale Bowman column GREAT OUTDOORS-Not a Great Opening Day, his field report on opening day of Deer season he mentions that" the best deer I heard about was a Facebook posting by Bob Zettler of what looked like a massive 10 point, which was shot minutes after opening in southern Illinois". I assume this is the same Zettler who writes those interesting fishing reports that I enjoy reading here on Crappie dot com. Congrats to Bob an a massive looking 10 point Buck. That report should be a story of stories to read. jax

now.... I'll have to double check...but I believe I work with some gentlemen that can corroborate on that there story..seem to live by that man...

Were their any pics of it?

Yep, it is the same Bob Zettler...Mr. Dark Cloud, himself. Haven't seen a picture, yet.

There's is a picture of the Zettler buck on here under the thread "must be deer season" by Jethro.

Thanks. Zett did get a good one.

IF he replies, get a cup of coffee and be ready for a good read. Let's hear it Zetts.

The Zettler buck

Good golly i had no idea me and the deer had our publicity agents working on this!

No story - yet - as this ole guy us still recuperating. Had little to no sleep the week before season and very little since - I still hunted ALL three days and was absolutely whooped that I seldom could make it back to base camp! In fact I fell asleep Friday night while reliving the days events with my hosts. They told me they had to wear earmuffs upstairs due to my snoring...and that was after they threw a blanket and pillow over my head. Hmmmm, maybe they were after me lucky charms?

This is probably the third best deer I ever shot and killed. The first is still at taxidermists 11 years later and the other was stolen by the landowners grandson and crew as I was tracking it many years ago. First time I ever tried to chase someone down carrying a loaded weapon!


This will be only the second deer on my wall and just hope its not another thirty years for the next one...


Heck, I hope I have another 30 years chasing them!

Thanks guys.

Good job Bob, and I hope you nail a bunch more.

Wow!!! Great deer!!!:HandsClapping
