This is a sort of prayer request for all you Illinois hunters in the area (and any other gracious people who'd like to say a prayer for us):

Weather.com says we could have 39 degree weather (at night) 2 days before opening day... if it just drops a few more precious degrees we could be looking at a mosquito-less opener!!!!

Yeah, I just seen that. Things are looking very promising.

cant wait for sat. they should be moving good.

I was out today... saw several does moving in the rain! That's a good sign... We're not scheduled to have rain though... but I'll believe it when I see it (Rita wil hit us sooner or later).

That would be sooooooo pefect for opening weekend.Would have the deer moving big time with the first cold snap of the season.
