Just moved back to Illinois where I belong....Arkansas wasnt for me. Time to get serious now :)

thanks for the info and the vote of confidence. i really appreciate it.
saturday morning will most likely be my last day to hunt here before i head on up to canada. im leaving on thursday sometime. i wont have a phone, computer or anything else like that. its just gonna be me, a few other guys, big pike, walleye, smallmouths, and of course bears. ill just have to post pics and stories whenever i get back. hopefully some of u all will score a buck while im gone

Day one is in the books for me. I ended up having to work in the morning, so I missed my morning sit. Saw three bucks this afternoon, 2 fork horns and a decent 8. They all walked the same trail at different times so I'll set up a little bit different next Saturday. One of the small ones actually came in to about 5 yards before going back.

Thats cool JC!
Did the 10th person sign in or did we get an alternate?

i think we'll need the alternate.
Good luck Dees... we're all pulling for ya.
JC, how big was the 8?

I'm not good at field judging deer, but I got a pretty good look at him thru the binoculars. If I had to guess, I'd say he would go about 90 to 100 inches which I would be tickled to death with around here. His horns were well outside his ears with decent length on the brow tines. I've got a portable stand, so I'm went back mid day Sunday and found another tree to climb that will give me a good shot to where they crossed.

Marylands bow opener is tomorrow and I am going to have to miss it, but I will be out Saturday morning!
Hopefully the weather will cool off a little more.

Went out to one of my lease's yesterday where I planted a winter plot of purple top turnips, kale and winter wheat.
I could not believe how much has come up since I planted 2 weeks ago.
I wish I could get my front yard as nice and green as the plot is.
I'll get some pictures and post Saturday.

Stay Safe out there!

Good luck JC & Sideways...
JC.. i hear ya on the 90"... that is a trophy around here!!!
