I won't get into a "location" diatribe but.......oh nevermind.

They aren't behind every tree, but it's damn close.
Rob told me he saw 8-9 bucks that would go over 140" in 9 days in IL. He's seen 3 in 27 yrs in PA.

He said he saw 40 bucks in 9 days in IL. He saw FIVE, all season, in PA.

How many trees are there out there?
Wow! I'd like to hunt a place like that!

In my Ill spot I saw 12 bucks in 20 days and only 1 that went over 140" (so I shot it!).
Greg, it's true except it was 41 sightings, probably 25 different deer with 8-9 going over 140 and this was from the same tree! I had a wonderful time! !


Bloodcrick, don't know about Matt's but my 50 yard Glendale buck was leaning hard. Something hit it! [8D]

They are not behind every tree, we hunted dark to dark every day but, I like my chances in IL over PA.
