I want to see him next year. He was a 3 year old.
Our 2nd archery season comes back in on the 26th for 2 1/2 weeks. I will take a doe then and I'm still holding out for a buck.
I feel bad. I have been entering bucks in the contest four straight years in a row and we lost our lease this year and everything changed. I'm not giving up though.
Just keep at it Scott, it aint over yet.
Luckily I worked it out & Ill be hunting Thursday thru Monday. Now that the herd is back to some regularity again I want to be afield as much as possible. Ill be posted up on food during my evening hunts & between the ag fields & the bedding during my morning hunts. The extended forecast for central Illinois is predicting some bitterly cold temps this weekend so Im pretty confident that I can arrow a good buck.
Good luck yall & happy hunting.
