ChiTownBuck; This is my second year keeping a type of journal , its a Archery Hunter Sighting Survey that I am doing for the IDNR, I know some of our other members here were also choosen to participate in this survey last year also.
I wont even go into the longggggggggggg story of my bowhunting nightmare I had the other day on public land.
EVERY YEAR I SWEAR I WILL NEVER HUNT PUBLIC LAND AGAIN

AND

EVERY YEAR I SAY TO MY SELF I WILL GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY
and once I do I kick myself for thinking it will be any better out there than the year before.Some day Ill stop trying to kid myself
Ill just tell you that I had 20 people pass within 70 yards of my stand and 2 were 23 yards from my stand.... and the icing on the cake was the 2 guys less than 10 feet from my stand... they knew I was there but just didnt care!!!!!!!!! Flippin people were all over the woods.[X(][:@]
