RE: 20-Official Team Lung Lancers Thread
I am still alive...barely. Well the temps in Illinois are on the rise AGAIN!!!! Got to 66 today and supposed to be 73 tomorrow. THEN the bottom falls out, and snow on Turkey Day, no wonder I am sick. Our first gun season was this past Fri-Sun. I decided to take a decent 8pt about 5 min. after sunrise, he came in with a smaller 8 at about 45 yards....raised my gun, pulled the trigger BOOMMMMMMMM...he stands there for about 4 sec. looking at me like I am retarted (which I felt like) after seeing him run away. Mind all of you that at 6:10 in the morning it's pretty dark still in the woods. So at about 6:45, it's pretty much light,light, so I start trying to figure out what happened. Then I see it....a tree about the size of a 20oz Coke bottle blew all to heck....it's just not my year, that makes me 2/8 this year, after going 5/5 last year.[&o]

Well Rifle Deer Season is over and I ended up shooting a nice 8-Point Buck this past sunday with my Browning .243 so I will be starting back up with my Archery Hunting over Thankgiving and the weekend.Hopefully this ridiculous Rut will kick in again because they are calling for some really nasty weather with possibilities of snow flurries later in the week! 
I wasn't allowed to Bow Hunt on the other property we Leased so I'm hoping my Brother will take me hunting on the 500 Acres he has been helping a Farmer fix his fences on!

I'm still here, The orange army is out there this week. I'll hunt hunt this weekend hopeing they'll push one in my direction. Bow season runs into Feb. So my season isn't over yet. I've had many chances at 1 1/2 qnd 2 1/2 year old bucks this year, But I decided to let walk hopeing to have a chance at a better buck, there's a big 8, a nice 10 and a really nice 10 point in my area. I hope they make it through gun season.

Hey guys, The gun season starts tomorrow here so the deer will be getting the crap scared out of them. Once it is over I will start hunting again. I have seen many bucks but for the life of me I can't figure out where the heavy racked deer have disappeared to. I seen a 8 point chaseing does last weekend with no big boy trying to mess up his party. Maybe he is the man out there this year. Hopefully the gunners will push new blood into my area as I am surrounded by public land. Good luck to you men still hunting. Chris
