Too bad you missed out on the big Illinois bucks. I'll be gracious enough to go back over to your lease and keep the deerstands warm if you like.
Thats very kind of you Arnie! Some of those stands got kinda cold out there. I'm thinkin about a long weekend, late December bowhunt. Those seats will really need some warmin up by then!
Tim, good luck on those post gun season deer. They can be mighty tough to get close to! On the other hand, I have a slammer patterned here and didn't see him last season till the gun season came in. Had him in range three times but my buck tag was gone. Havent seen him this year but gun season starts Monday and I'm on a property that has no gun hunting and kinda becomes a sanctuary. I figure that if he survives the first hour of the gun season, I have a decent chance at him again this year.
