Hopefully Ill have some good stories, a nice buck and some good pictures !

Ill be hunting in Vermilion County. I actually HUNT in Vermilion County Indiana - Vermilion county is split in half - IL, and IN...... I have a friend that has about 15000 acres...... and I am only one of about 3 bowhunters that hunt it. They hunt it - but with shotguns the week after I leave although I always stay for opening day to hear all the stories and see what everyone brings in.... Its a great time and Im bringing my son (actualy my step son) who is 10 - first time he will see Illinois , and what farmland is .... I cant wait... he is SO excited.... he has never been deer hunting and Im excited....... and been training him......

I have the perfect way to explain to a child how to hunt deer from a stand - my saying goes like this :

" Hunt like the owl.... move only your head and your eyes, Thats how the owl hunts, and so do we"

Everytime I say it he smiles ..........

Talk to you guys in about 10-12 days........
