Just a reminder, if you plan on hunting this weekend, you must wear blaze orange.
Bummer, I was planning on going, but not so sure now.

The first 4 days of archery brought a new record harvest.
6250 compared to 5059 last year.

Just wanted to share my story with you guys. I hunt in Stark county which is in the middle of the state near Peoria. Went out opening weekend. Friday, saturday, and Sunday. The only things I saw were moving in the middle of the timber. I did however shoot a doe at about 7:30 on saturday morning. Other than that doe the only things I saw were small bucks. I will be heading out tonight and the rest of the weekend as well.

SuperRedHawk,
Why would wearing orange keep you from hunting??

I don't know, I almost went anyways. I plan on going the next couple of weekends, so I wanted to take a weekend off, might as well be this one.
Not a big fan of bowhunting with blaze orange.
