Just got home from Southern IL - fixin' to get some sleep here pretty soon. It was a great weekend for seeing deer, just not for shooting them. Between the three of us that hunted we saw 4 different bucks, about a half a dozen does, 4 coyotes, some wood ducks, raccoons, squirrels, a blue heron, and one tom turkey.

I spotted a nice buck this morning about 200 yards away across a bean field for a brief second and he was gone. Looked to be in the 120-130 class. I got the binos on him for just a split second and he looked to be a real nice 8 pt. Other than that, just 1 1/2 old bucks roaming the countryside.

2 weeks before we go back down to hunt again - maybe I'll have some luck at home in the meantime. 267 miles door to door and now it's time to get some sleep!
