RE: Illinois bow opener?
Well, went out for the first time this weekend. Sat. morning i saw two does about 225 yards away eating in a corn field. Sat afternoon didn' t have a chance to see anything the guy i went hunting with had a little problem. He went to pull back on his bow and his string snapped and the limbs on his bow fell off. Well, we went back to town and got another bow for him to use and shot at a target until it got dark. Sunday morning i saw 3 does and a little forkhorn running through a brushy field and they stopped about 100 yrds away, i gave them a grunt and nothing, so i gave them another one as they were turning to leave and they stopped and looked, finally they left and went through a draw into another corn field. That was my weekend, I' ll probably go only one more weekend before shotgun season starts too.
