gosh i am so pumped. here goes another sleepless night-just what you need when you gotta get up at 4:15 right? timing couldnt be better. the rut is in full swing, the bucks are chasing hard now and the deer just dont stop moving. i bet kills are up bigtime from last year. good luck to all.

Good luck all you Illinois folks! I have to wait one more day, but I don't think this week could have went any slower. [:'(] But the bags are packed and i'm heading northfriday afternoon and looking forward to my sleepless friday night.

Be safe and bag a big one!!!
