I am alittle hofefull for this new spot seeing as its about 50 acres of timber and valleys and a creek running threw it, with only 3 people allowed to hunting, myself being one of them, and it appears that the timber there is going to also only see one shotgun hunter.

The other spot I like as well but I have a bad feeling its going to be all shot to Hello by the end of the blaze orange army invastion.

To night I could almost swear I head a buck grunting as he walked passed me into one of the two fingers. I was trying to hunt a staging area. I might be in denial also but I think the real rut has yet to hit and what we have been seeing was still the prerut. I really hope that its not the fact that the does did not sincrinize the estrus this year.

But I am that that you got a shot oppertunity.

I am kind of kicking myself for not taking a shot at that small six I rattled in but it was 50 yards and I did not have a lane So at the time I didnt feel good about it.

I almost wish I was one of those Rich fellas from Chicago that pay huge ammounts of cash to go down to Pike county and miss big bucks... Nothing against the rest of you people above I80, but you know the kind of person Im talking about... they ones that are the reason the Wisconson hunters call us Illinois guys FIBs.

But I did end up getting invited to hunt private ground in texas Next fall for wild boar and whitetail and see if I cant blast a few ducks while im at it with the Ducted up boys out of Texarckana.
But anyhow im getting side tracked...

I am hoping that I can get one down tomarrow or even see one.
My school has rather been suffering, I have been in the stand almost every waking moment when I should have been doing my homework...
