Good Luck on your ILL. trip-born & raised there & now 30 min. away in Iowa. I have passed on a couple small Bucks-forky & little 6. Couple Does also but have plentry of time to fill the antlerless tags-like to keep them MaMas around for those bigger Bucks. I have a couple good Bucks in the areas I am hunting & that's what I am holding out for. I passed on about a 130 last year at less than 10 yards & never filled. Doubt if I can let that go this year but maybe. In 50 years of Bowhunting I have taken a few good ones & would like to get over 150 this year. Yes, I am spoiled with good Whitetails but then, I go WITHOUT filling my tag many times.
I am hoping my one Daughter will take a big Buck also BUT then, any Buck will fill the bill for her & we will be delighted if it happens. Good Luck again-it should start getting better for everyone each day now. Remember, we will be # "ONE" at the end of the season.
