Default RE: Anything in Illinois?

Hey,
Thanks for all the replies. Got a new hunting place just south of town. Sitting on a thick end row attached to 10 acres and big sections of timber all around. Looking over a corn field....[8D] Wanted to see what you all noticed the deer were doing.

Went out tonight for the first time. Seen two does and three small deer together. About the same time I seen a good size buck going along a fence line. Just a little to far out to see rack size.

Here's the kicker, I went out to sit, just to see if there was anything moving about. The wind was not favoring my location. Normally the wind seems toblow east and a little south (perfect for my spot).Tonight heading west. We'll I was like a kid in a candy store (new hunting spot).

The does and small ones came out. One of the does winded me and was looking around not really alarmed but headed other direction. I probably could have grunted at the buck, but didn't want him over here winding me either. He was 130-140 yrds or so away. Waited till almost dark to slip out. Got to the end of timber and those deer werein the bean fieldbetween me and my truck. I walked and waited, walked and waited finally I think I made it to truck without spooking them.

IL BOW MAN, Seems I have been helping coach kids sports most of summer and just finished with mighty mite football a couple weeks ago..
Did manage to hit shawnee Nation Forest a few weeks ago also. Ilet the airout ofa two year old doe Saw a small buck also. I also let the air out of a couple beer cans...[8D] Other than that, hoping this new locations brings me something to put on the wall.

That sure is anice deer you got there Chris..Congrats

Thanks again guys!!!
