jhunter; Hello; I was at Hunting Unlimiteds Ladies Bow Hunt the same time you were at Heartlands Ladies hunt 2 years ago, Joella Bates was over there at Heartland and tha evening I shot my 1st Doe at Hunting Unlimited she came over and spent the evening visiting with the Ladies at Hunting Unlimited.
The Womens Bow Hunt ay Hunting Unlimited Inc was originally started and sponsored by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and they had a couple of there employees there for a mini bowhunters saftey course before the hunt and Brenda Potts was one of them and Jeff Hopkins from the IDNR stayed for the whole
womens hunt and helped to track the Does I shoot.
Last year Larry Hanold whom owns Hunting Unlimited Inc invited the Ladies from Heartland Outfitters over for a evening Bow Hunt on his land followed by a wine tasting and Dinner[:-]Larry also has his own grape vinyards and you can sit in front of the lodge and watch the deer in the front yard come into feed on the grape vines in the front yard, I told him just give me a lawn chair and Ill hunt the 50 yards from the front door on the front lawn[&:]
This year will be the first time I believe that Hunting Unlimited and Heartland Outfitters will be hosting a co sponsored Womens Bow Hunt. Wish you could make it, its gonna be fun
When I talk to Doc Russell Ill have to ask him about " The Coyote Lady " I never had any problems with coyotes on my last 2 hunts there , but I do hear them there in the morning. 2 years ago one of the ladies was getting ready to draw her bow on a doe when 2 coyotes came running in and ran her doe off[:@]
I wish you all the luck on your Elk Hunt, hope ya get a good one
