Default RE: Two IL Public Land Bucks

This weekend was very interesting for me. Friday 6:20am 2 does come in, I shoot @ 60 yd, nothing, 10 min. later 2 more does still miss. Didn't see anything the rest of the day. Saturday, same stand, 6:25 am 1 doe comes out in the same location as on friday, missed again, saw a nice 8 pt. at noon sent checking a tree line. Sunday, same tree, 6am something runs in from over the hill, 6:15 I see its a buck with a doe, he gets up on her and does his thing 25yd in front of me (x-rated nature show), didn't shoot, shooting time was 6:20 and it was still very dark. 10 min later 2 does run in shot the first at 40yd clean in the head. The hunt was over, I was very happy, but might want to invest in a scope for those earlly morning shots ( shot the gun in the afternoon and was perfect at 60 yd)
