Yeah, it's not like anyone involved with the state of Illinois Government would skim or something

The mail brought good news today. I received my replacement either-sex firearm permit. As the rut is timed for the first firearm season I will be running over to BassPro to pick up an additional either-sex permit. The OTC permits start on sale today. 1600+ either-sex permits available for my county and 800+ antlerless-only permits.

Hey Uncle Matt, I will let you know how that 1st tag fares out for you for they sent it to my house!!!! LOL!!!! I saw a STUD of a 10ptr on Sat eve already chasing a slick head. He wasn't full heartedly chasn, but was on her hot enuf to tickle me for the 1/2hr watching them. He got within 10yds of taking a ride on the GrimReaper Express for over 20mins. Stayed at about 40yds behind some brush eatn white oaks. Sounded like he was eating rocks!!!

If I find a white oak dropping acorns I'll be dropping my butt nearby!

Yeah, me too. I saw the two older does that were around him and the 3 yearlings last night on the other side of the strip of timber. About 200yds away. I have left all slick heads alone for the past 3 yrs to let them get back on their feet after the hard fall off of 2012/13. I may take 1 last part of gun season or maybe end of bow season if I get the notion. Maybe and old grey muzzled swamp donkey to fill my dads freezer. He don't get to get out anymore so I know he would like to have it. I always teach in my Hunter Safety class that if you want a renewable resource, you have to leave the seed givers to do so. I havent seen any yearlings in the strip for 2 years. Now I have seen 3 in 4 days. Makes me feel like I made a difference hopefully.
