Leaving for southern Illinois in about 4 hours! Can't wait! Went out last night and saw a 1 1/2 buck feed in front of me for nearly 30 minutes. Awesome body on him, he'll be a stud one day for sure.

I wish all of you luck this weekend. The full moon should bring the first does into estrous shortly here in the midwest. Although the rut isn't for weeks, their always is a chance for a love hungry buck who smells a first available doe! The testosterone is abundant when you get these cooler temps. Can't wait!
Good Luck Gents..
