I have e-mailed our last two hold outs about checking in here. I hope we do not need any alternates. That would mean a new logo.

Can we tell when each of our seasons open and our initial thoughts to the type of hunting we each plan to do?

Mine - Illinois - October 1st

Working a 2,200 acre piece of public land. Looking to drop a climbing stand along a cross road I've located with plenty of White Oak shading the area. I found a what I think is a bedding area on the opposite side of the stand by about 60 yards. It looks quiet to get into. Haven't tried it in the dark though. I've also scouted a couple of alternate areas so I have choices with the breeze. And I'm heading out to an area close to my house this weekend for a look see. 4,000 acres within 15 minutes of home. a great place I think for that impulse hunt.

I am taking a week vacation October 18th for strictly hitting the woods of my two hunting areas. I wish this coming Monday was October 18th.
