Bigmills---last year the 1st day of ML was the best ever!! The bucks were in full rut and all 4 of my partners tagged out. Plus, everyone saw at least one other buck during the day. Real fun to be able to use scent with a firearm.

EP: My beef is that successful big buck states like ILL only allow 1 or 2 bucks for ALL SEASONS combined. My midwestern friends think that we are nuts with the hunting from Sep--Feb and with shotguns for most of DEC and JAN. Just a thought.
