Here I am, home at last from a long night of mass vodka consumption in downtown Chicago.

Last year I coughed up a nice goose egg for my team, but hopefully things will turn around this year. I've got some great spots here in Northern IL to hunt close to home, and a lease down in Effingham County that will hopefully turn up some good deer as well. Now all I need to do is learn how to shoot straight and I'll be all set.

Fortunately for us we've got Paul "Horseshoe up my butt" Mazur on our team. There's a guaranteed 140" right there. Now that we're on the same team I guess you won't mind as much when I go sit in your stands while you're out of town.
