Troy is probably in major preason mode with his season apart to start and the school year fast approaching... I think he said soemthing about being away for a while a while back.. Would have to go check.

Spotting is 100% illegal in Illinois. Not saying it is not done but I don't do it.. The only spotting I do is when I am actually looking for something and I catch a random deer in the spot.. Doesn't happen much and usually only during calving season.

I need t time my trip closer to dusk so I actually get dusk. It is almost pointless now with the amount of corn in around here, every year there are fewer and fewer beans being planted.. Maybe I should start farming so I can plant some areas to make my hunting/scouting more productive lol... Nah, than I would be harvesting all hunting seaosn.
