RE: Great day in Illinois
We had a great opener too. Hunt in Christian County. I shot a big doe @ 7 . It was funny I wasn't going to shoot her so I passed a 15 yd broadside. She milled around for about 20 minutes, too long. I started to feel guilty about not shooting, fearing I might not see another doe as nice as her so I reached out and nabbed her 50yds. Perfect heart shot. Best thing was she bolted up the hill and expired on a logging trail.
THen I heard the father in law shoot around 830. He was set up in a funnel about 200 yds away. He nailed a solid 7 pt. So I shimmied down my tree in my climber and headed his way. as i was walking down the ridge I remembered that my gun was not loaded, so i put one shell in...as soon as i looked up i saw a head...there was a even bigger doe bedded down 60 yds down hill. she stood up and stared to me. I couldn't help it I put a bead on her and dropped her.
in all, the 3 of us set up in our triangle took 2 bucks and four does and we be sleeping in tommorow.
