Wellwith opening day having come and gone and the day after its time for some rest
Opening morning I headed to University Of Illinois Allerton Park where I was needing to take a Doe before I can take a Buck... So with the Doe with Twins that came as close as only 47 yards , then a Spike followed by a decent 8 point buck whom of course was the only one to present me with a 22 yard shot, I left empty handed........ My husband was also there hunting a different part of the park and he saw 0, Zip, Nothing[:'(]
So with the evening hunt still to come we decided to try another tactic, we headed out to the area of my morning stand but he hung a stand about 45 yards from my morning stand and I headed off a little farther east with my climber.
Come about sunset time my husband had 2 does come into 20 yards from him and his arrow founds it's mark resulting in him taking a doe
So come Oct 2nd I decided to bowhunt the some area of my previous mornings stand but about 50 yards farther into the thicket......... and come decent light I had a Doe come into 5 yards from me and had to wait until I had a clear shot at her broadside at 29.5 yards , so I drew and YEEEEEEEEPEEEE... Ishot my doe
So now I am Buck Hunting the park property...... Sorry no pic's but between the heat and the time it took to drag her out, field dress her and get the Bio samples they take from the deer and I needed to open the bow shop at 10:00am We just forgot to take pictures[:@]
