MECHDOC checking in! I will be hunting all over IL and Southeast WI. I aquired a few new hunting propertys this season so I hope I can score big on them. I just recently put the trailcams out so I hope to be reporting good news back soon. It looks like we got a strong team this year. Good luck to everyone this season, I think its going to be a good one.

Welcome aboard Mech!

Well I was bored and thought of some names for the team. We can get a few from everyone and take a vote.:biggrin:

This is where I'll be again this year

Loess Hills State Forest is located in west-central Iowa in Harrison and Monona Counties. It is comprised of 4 units totaling 11,266 acres. The Little Sioux Unit, 3,627 acres, lies between the towns of Little Sioux and Pisgah. The Pisgah Unit, 2,549 acres, is located east of Pisgah.This is all public hunting ground and the last two years I've hunted it I've only seen 3 other people there.

I guess other states just have more access to nice public ground. We have 3 within 30 minutes of us, but they are only like 200 acres a piece. And EVERYONE hunts them....so its tough.

Don't let Jenna kid you guys - she's great at making av's.

Good Luck this year Jenna!

Thank ya much! I wish you the best of luck as well!:biggrin:

I see we're still missing a few folks. Anyone send out a reminder or pm to them?

I sent reminders to everyone except Todd McDuffie. It said he didnt recieve PM's. I can send another if needed.

I sat last night because I have to take care of 5 crop damage permits. I have to shoot 5 does before Sept 13th. Can be bow or gun. I saw quite a few deer, one pretty nice buck. He was 10 points, about 8-9" on the G2's and G3's, but short on the brows and G4's. I would say he was about a 140" buck though. Watched him for about a half hour. Closest he got was 40 yards. Saw quite a few deer really. I'll be back out again to do my part.
