Well........spent the day Saturday driving six hours down to IL, three hours pulling stands, and six hour back home to MI. With me being out of work, I will not be able to hunt out of state this year. Just kind of a sad day to be down there when we should be hanging and trimming but are instead pulling and heading home......

Unfortunately, I am affraid I will be passing on my usuall dozens of 1-1/2 year-old bucks here in MI, shooting does for the freezer, and hoping 2010 brings something better and brighter??!!??

Here's wishing all you boys GOOD LUCK hunting the lands of the GIANTS!!!
