Default RE: IL ML season this weekend

Cold, wind, wind, snow, and more wind.......brrrrrrr. It was a cold one yesterday. I backed my rear end into a wood shed over looking the river bottoms Friday and only seen one doe in the morning. Of course she was on the other side of the river. Took a break to warm up about 11:20 and went to town for lunch at McD's. I picked up a news paper and read all about our wonderfull Gov. Rodand his troubles (). Took a nap for an hour or so then headed back out. Nothing untill about 4pm I see more deer on the other side of the river. Then I notice them looking over on my side and to the East. There were 6-8 deer moving along the bottoms and were going to end up walking right in front of me. I picked out the biggest of the bunch and shot her right in the neck. She never took another step. But what I had was deer running all over the place. The ones on the other side of the river took off, tails in the air and the bunch that was on my side took off as well. Only there were more deer there than I had seen. White flags were flying everywhere.So I lowered my standard of hunting for the big buck and took a nice 160# plus corn fed deer. I was tired of freezing my butt off. Here's the doe.
