I just want to be able to get out a few times during the pre rut and rut and hopefully get a crack at a decent buck. WIth 2 young kids at home my hunting time is precious.

Good luck this Fall!!

Just hope to get my first and to learn more for later on.

I have very high hopes this year after watching a couple of big bodied bucks with huge racks about 400 yards from my backyard with binoculars.I try not to get my hopes up too high but this year i just have that feeling--THIS IS THE YEAR!

really low.. i mean scraping the bottom of the barrel low... here in Illinois there doesnt seem to be alot of deer walking around. i have been having trouble seeing them at all... [:-]

don't have any expecations at all. Don't even think I will see many deer, If the acorns don't fall then I probabely won't see any.. Gee's I might not even go..

Cool weather, on stand with no worries and the excitement of that big buck about to make that next step that will give me the perfect shot!

Yep, enjoying myself. Getting away from the rat race.

I'm in a EAB unit this year so my first priority is to fill the freezer with a couple doe then go after a respectable buck.

There is a piebald doe that I've wanted to kill since I saw her as fawn 3 years ago. I've watched her....now she is 2.5....time to put my tag on her.

And, another P&Y buck this year would be nice. I hope to shoot a good 8 point or something better. No dinks for me....at least not until rifle season. If I have my buck tag left by then the first legal buck I see will be in big trouble if I have anything to say about it.

I have high expectations. Im looking for my first bow kill. I passed last year on some nice 8's and a decent 10 and had a couple monsters but ofcourse they didnt come in bow range. I only buy one tag which is a buck tag i dont mess with does untill shotgun season. I will be passing on most bucks ill only let an arrow fly on a 125 class or better buck.
