BOTW heads the Illinois Hunting Report each Wednesday during the apt times in the Sun-Times. An extended online version appears here, usually by midnight Tuesday. Yes, we are cutting it close tonight.

Here's the base tale:

Jim lenc of Lagrange bagged this Friday the 13th 10 pointer at 7:00am Friday morning bow hunting in Woodford County. This buck was shot while scoping a hillside doe trail, before calling it quits it made its way 60 yards down
into the bottom of the ravine. Took 2/1/2 hours to get out. Well worth it.

And imagined there might be more to the tale.

And there was:

Of course a lot of luck at being at right place right time - did put a lot of hours in that stand -watched that same buck skirt around me out of range the prior week.
