You lucky dogs. Still not rain in southern IL. Hot and DRY. I went up to the farm yesterday and just got back. Food plots are ready to go in, just waiting on rain now. Didn't find any dead deer around any of our ponds, but found one nice 7 pointer that has got to be sick. Its gasping for breath, dripping foam out of the mouth. It looks fine, except for those two things. But I stopped the 4 wheeler within 10 feet of him last night and took several pictures. He was still there this morning. He's just a year and half, but has got great potential. Hate to lose him, but I think we will. Everything else looked good.

It wont be long now. Just a few days to go in KY, and then a month in IL. Hope your final preps are going great.
