RE: Opening Weekend - IL
[quote]ORIGINAL: ahunter55
Greetings fellas-I live right on the Ill./Iowa border now about 25 miles from my Ill. home town. Did't go outon the opener-actually I don't start until around the middle of Oct. & then practically liveon Deer stand (I am blessed to be able to do that).
BUT!!! What do you fellas think a Non-Resident feels when he doesn't see a GIANT Buck each time he goes out on stand? I think MANY think your going to be overrun with Whitetails every time you go out from all the Hype on our Big Bucks. Sad in a way-it takes away from the joy of Bowhunting (just my opinion).
Good Luck to you all& I hope you get a chance at that Buck of your dreams. Oh, this is a Pic. I took opening morning in my back yard by my Deer Target. MaMa& her twins aren't to worried-they know I am looking for Daddy...
I agree ahunter55 Those big bucks get big for a reason. You have to enjoy hunting for everything about it. A monster buck is a huge bonus.
