Hatchet and all-

I have three separate and private areas to hunt this year. One of them is a very small area but has two or three 100-130in bucks that I have seen. They might be bigger but I'd rather error on the side of conservatism.On the other propertiesI am seeing plenty of tracks but no rubs just yet, I'm sure there are bucks because the owner/s have seen them. Still trying to figure out where to put my stands on one property. The others I already have my spots picked out

Only time will tell.The season here in Illinois isOct-Jan so I feel pretty good about my chances.

We need everyone to sound off and then we need to pick a name.

Later...
