Im still around guys. Ive been doing alot of scouting and still havent seen any mature bucks. And for that matter no bucks at all for about a week and a half now. Lots of does and fawns. The acorns are starting to drop but Im not going in that area until season openner.I have no white oaks around here but the deer seem to love the pin oaks just as much. I hunted this area last year on openning day and seen a awesome buck, but Id just finished shooting at a doe when he came out and didnt get a chance. Never saw him again either. Anyways, season opens Oct.1 and Ive still got alot of scouting to do to pick out "the one". Also last Tuesday while scouting I decided to drive down to the riverbottoms and glass the area. On my way out I ended up burying my truck to the doors and had to walk about a mile to get help. Just goes to show ya that even though the grounds dry on top about 2 inches down its muddy as hell in the bottoms. The ruts from my truck are holding about 6 inches of water about 30 yds long and the deer have been using this oppertunity for a quick drink when entering or exiting the bean field. So I guess I just helped em a bit.

Well thats sucks that your computer crapped ouot on yah hatchet. I just had a guy from the geek squad come in to fix my computer about a week ago cause it was all virused up and he ended up having to wipe everything off the computer and that cost $250 so i kinda know what your talking about. Oh and good luck on Monday with your doe, i know i might head out on Mon with the rifle and pop a few does just to get some meat in the freezer but im determined to drop a buck with the bow.

Good luck to you too trigger on sat hope you can drop a nice buck. Im headin out on Sat for some elk since they didnt co-operate with me last Sat.

Man stikbow26 you are a lucky Buck!!! You live and hunt in Illinois.I hunted your great state two times. It was the best deer hunting I ever seen!!! The first huntI shot a 118" 10pt ( My best Buck) The second time, the first hour of the hunt I waited for a better shot on a real nice 11pt with a drop. The Doe he was sniffing busted me[:@]I seen tons of nice bucks on both hunts!!GREAT HUNTING. I see there hitting the out of state hunters real hard on the price$ of a deer tag now[:o]Someday I will be back to Illinois. My next out of state hunt will be next year ( South Dakota).I can't wait!!!! Goodluck and be safe!!!
