I wish!! I hunt a little south and east of "big buck land". I'm around Effingham when I hunt with my brother-in-law or up north east in Will county when I'm near my home or north west in Carroll and JoDaviess counties at my friends place(s). I hunt not too far from where you guys did last year near Lanark. My buddy has some property in and near Savana which is just due west of Lanark on 64. I'm going out there next weekend as a matter of fact.
I like to keep it mixed up between those spots and my families property down in the Shawnee Natl. Forrest. I usually end up with about 4-6 deer a year. Hopefully I'll connect on a brute but only time will tell.
Good luck to all!

I just got an Email from Rob asking if I wanna go to Ill. again next year. Of course I said yes, so we may be seeing each other in the future. I am sure we will be in touch before we leave. Good luck this season.

Hey guys haven't checked in for a while. Been hunting here a little bit. Seen some does and a few nights ago we had a nice buck on the camera so I left the camera and setup right by a couple nights later. Well about 720 pm out steps a deer. He walks right by me at 16 yards. I let him go. Might have been a mistake. It was the same deer. He'll probably go 135 to 140. Nice tall 10 pointer. Really young deer though. There is a 190+ on this place so letting him pass was easy. They've already started rubbin and scrapin hear. I'm in my stand as I type this on my blackberry. Its gonna be around 40 tonight so I'm hopin they get up and move. Saw a BIG buck two nights ago but it got dark on me. Hope you guys are seein em.

Nice to hear that some of us are hunting. I will be out on Sat., as it is our season opener. Biggest one on my trail cams might go 125-130. Best one I have seen on the cameras since I started using them 4 yrs ago. If he comes by I hope to get the shot cause I wont wait!!!!

Glad you guys are seeing some nice deer. I've been doing quite a bit of scouting and will be hunting this weekend. I didn't get any trail cameras up this year, but I have been seeing some good deer signs. The other day I found one of the best rubs I've ever seen. The cedar tree was close to 6" in diameter and it was rubbed clean. It's pretty early in the season for that, but I'm not complaining.
By the way, thanks to everyone for coming up with the team name. Sorry I was no help at all.
I'll let you guys know if I see any good deer this weekend. Good luck to you.

Sorry for not posting much, I've been tied up a bit, and finally have had time to get back over to these boards for a while. I will be heading out for the PA opener this Saturday even though the weather looks questionable (12-15mph SSW wind and rain). I may hunt a small piece as more of a buffer/observation stand than anything.
Anyways, like the team name, and I put together an avatar (I designed a similar one for a team last year, but it wasn't used, and it just so happens it was almost completely appropriate given our name this year). Let me know what you think.
