A message in the inbox this morning from my friend Rudy Morgan:
Ok boys, sit back and take a look at this friggin’ monster. That’s my elk hunting partner, Chuck Hamstra[aka hamster]with a 200 inch class 18 point buck he shot 11-4-08[at least one good thing happened that day]with his old high country bow from a tree stand on his Albany, Illinois farm.

He has found a shed from this critter in april ’07 and they had seen it while coyote chasin’ in January.[his son dave had even missed the monster during gun season!]chuck had been combining corn all day Tuesday but quit about a half hour before sunset.as he hopped on his 4 wheeler dressed in filthy blue jeans,a”good will” flannel shirt and a sweat drenched Garst seed corn hat, his wife, judy asked where he was going.he replied i still have time to hunt and took off. As he crossed the field he watched in disappointment as several does scattered in his path but he crawled up into the stand anyway.no less than 10 minutes later along comes the drop tined buck which stops broadside at 10 yards and receives a 125 thunderhead through both lungs.[that’s an incredable hit for chuck![ask any of us who have hunted with him!]it stumbles off a few yards and goes down for the count. Chuck goes and tells Judy he shot a decent buck, she says,”whatever”, it’s not gonna hang in the house.

He calls his son Dave who is driving over to son Kevin’s treestand to scare away some little bucks that have him held hostage on stand, and tells them he shot a buck and needs help tracking it. Having helped Dad track several deer in the past they figured they were in for an all nighter.

As kevin takes the double dribbler blood trail he says he thinks they’re gonna find this one. A few yards later he shines the light on the huge buck and the proverbial stuff hit the fan! They called me from the scene and I swear there were 50 people there hollering and cussing in joy! What on ordeal.

Oh,when Judy saw the buck she swore in amazement, and then said it could go in the house and hang over the fire place in the space that was reserved for the elusive elk that Chuck can’t seem to get. Congrats Chuck, you deserve a trophy like this!!
