Bucks in the IL beans
 

Went out scouting in IL tonight to see what came out in the bean fields. I was there 2 weeks ago but they came out right at dark. Too late for pics and really couldn't see much. I think theylike the cooler weather and were out much earlier tonight.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

more, I have a few to chase after now.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Don't know why they got all spread out like that. They were all lined up when I posted them.[:@]OH WELL at least you can see them.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

where are we meeting at again, John? ;)

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

hahahah, yeah can i tag along..........with my bow!

good luck! i hope you arrow one or two, and i hope yer on my team!

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Nice photos John.

Where those taken through a spotting scope or just straight zoom on the camera?

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

John those are some dandys, i take it that is one of your hunting areas yes? And they are comming out in the daylight ;)

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Yes, they are from the farm I hunt in IL. Now I just hope the rumors that everyone who applied for a tag will be getting one this year are true.

The pics are just with the cameras zoom. I had an idea where they were coming out into the field from my visit 2 weeks a go. So I sat in my truck on a field road next to a ditch. They came out a little closer than I thought they would. But didn't mind me being there. Then they just fed slowly away from me. Some pics are a little blurry because I was having a little trouble with buck fever (They give me the shakes even when I am not hunting them). Got some good video of them too.

Now I just have to figure out a way to get within bow range of them in about a month and a half. Season starts Oct. 1st.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Wow!!!!!!!!! That's more nice bucks than alot of hunters see in a season. Good luck.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Don't tell folks that BS! Ohio needs more attention. ;)

You got some healthy brutes there. That will get you pumped up. How is your wife doing?

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Some days are better than others. She has always had a weak stomach, and this has made it worse. Really has to watch what she eats or it upsets her stomach. She doesn't have a lot of energy, but she gets out of the house now and then with friends and we go out for short trips.

The once a month chemo has kinda been keeping her Lukemia in check, but it makes her feel a little blah for a week or so. Then she feels better for a couple of weeks usually.

Like one doctor told us, it is a roller coaster ride just don't get too high or too low.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Atta boy John, good lookin deer. Don't take mobow to IL, you won't see anymore deer with antlers... :D

P.S. I see camo in your future.... very very soon.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Sweet Pics!

When he sees these he is gonna start saving up for those expensive tags for next year. That is why I keep paying those high dollars for the nonres tags.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

BINGO! The Illinois tag fund is now accepting donations. Please make your tax deductible contribution to.........:D

Good lookin bucks there buddy! Good luck tagging one this fall, I know you can do it!

Here's my contribution to the IL bucks in the beans thread. A flippin' gagger from West Central Illinois this past weekend. My first trip down there and all I can say is WOW.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Dangitman, Justin!!

(that was my best Will Primos impersonation ;))

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

JM,

Nice bucks you have there, I'm sure with that kind of feed there are a few more lurking around your hunting area. I hope your wife's treatement goes well. God Bless.

Justin, you dawg.. thats a big ole buggar, you cant leave us hanging..whats the story..you hunting that property ??? give us more..

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

You definitely have your options this fall. I hope you give one the shaft.:D

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

I may be changing my vote:D

Nice Pics John, no wonder you were so pumped about ILL Non-resident tag;)

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Troy - I won't personally be hunting this piece, but I know a few guys who will be. I was down in west central IL with Craig Neace this past weekend doing some scouting on a few of his properties. We saw an absolute TON of deer, and obviously some great bucks. He was the biggest of the big, but there were several other 140 class bucks in the field with him. It was simply an awesome night, and I was glad to just be there and have the chance to see those bucks.

Hopefully someone gets a crack at him this fall, even if it's not me.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Justin I just saw your picis my response

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

And you guys in IL complain about the reputation you have.;) It looks like it is well deserved.

JM, good luck getting after them this fall.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Nie pics keep em coming....loveit

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

Talk about Hijacking a thread!:D That buck makes mine look puney.[:@] You better make sure there are no poachers in that area, or he may be gone before the season starts.

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
 

And figure out how to stop shaking. :D

RE: Bucks in the IL beans
