ha guys,

last night in my back yard i saw a real nice 10 pointer, and this morning i had 5 does in my backyard. See i live in illinois in the western suburbs of chicago, were there is no hunting allowed but being able to see these deer in action give me a little bit more of an idea of how things are going as far as the rut.
I havent found any scrapes or rubs back there but i dont think it wont be long before i do.
my buddy is supposed to get the card from our camera on our hunting property in minnesota this weekend, and i cant wait to see if the action has picked up on the camera.
2 years ago i had the opertunity one morning to watch a 12 pointer chase does in my backyard, IT WAS AWSOME!!!
I'm hoping I get to see some of the same this year. Usally the rut takes place later than the minnesota rut down here. So i might see something when i get back.
I'll tell you what though it is extremely hard to watch these huge bucks in my backyard and not have a chance at them.

keep me posted if you guys see anything up there...
