Man am I pumped for Monday!!!! I will be hunting my "funnel stand" over looking a 21 acre soy bean field in Scott County IL. The beans have been harvested and I believe this will make a great place. The funnel leads into my bean field from the adjacent property. It looks to be an awesome spot. It should be a real hot spot during the chase phase of the rut. I have gotten a few decent game cam pics from the area. The yellow dot on the map is where my stand is located. Here are also a few of the pictures I have gotten from the area.
Here is the one I would like to see monday evening.
can't wait to see this guy in a year or two.
This picture was taken before he shed his antlers from last year. I bet this buck will look pretty good now.
