Day 1 and 2 are officially in the books, after my 14hr joyride out here.
Evening Day #1 (Oct 28) had a lot of deer activity in the cool weather but no shooting opportunities. No bucks sighted.
Morning Day #2 (Oct 29) found a lot of deer on their feet in the 27 degree crisp morning. The 1.5yr old bucks are on the prowl with 3 in bow range this AM. Almost shot a doe but she went left when she needed to go right.
Evening Day #2 (Oct 29)Found us hanging in Greg's new "freezer filler" hotspot where he has taken 3 does in the last few weeks. There are also some nice open scrapes showing up so we hung this area hoping one might be towing a buck along...........but figuring we'd shoot another doe if given the chance.
Look at the size of this girl that showed up. [:-]
Don't need to say much else but HOLY BACKSTRAPS.
THis one was shot with a 2 blade Rage and is #3 down for the year so far for the Bowtech Admiral.
We moved a couple stands this afternoon and got some encouraging trail camera pics so hopefully things will heat up here on my .........let's call it an "extended leave of absence" from PA.
Day 1-2 Annual Illinois Hunt. Whopper nanny down.
