Less than three weeks for the IL bow season to start. The summer has bee so mild, but as Oct. 1st approaches, the thermostat keeps rising. I know the heat will fade away eventually, but man it's been hot lately.

LLBUX, I was wondering if your county had the youth firearm hunt for Oct. 9th and 10th this year? Rarely, do I see deer that weekend here in Fulton County...but I still go out in the woods. Hard to kill a deer sleeping in.

Congrats on the antelope doe, Wolf killer! My buddy and I have been talking about going Elk hunting out west within the next five years...will listen to any recommendations on some good outfitters.
