so i lost my BEST "BUCK" producing property this yesterday night when my Father-in-laws neighbor threatened to file suit agains my father-in-law (BOB) ..... Bob said not to worry about it if its legal do it! but i dont want to put him through some misguided frivilous suit or for that matter even a civili suit. he doesnt have the time NOR the patience to deal with this guy... what else could i do??? i dont want to give this guy any more reasons to hate Bob his neighbor... i guess they had some heated words, and im glad Bob is on my side.... what a great father-in-law to have!

either way, now im not going to that site untill things either get solved, or i do it REALLY REALLY secretivley...
and this is what i think. I have every right to be there, but i do NOT want to cause more of a headache to my Wifes father than i have to. i was imposing on him as it is driving thru his property (front yard) to get to my hunting area, now he doesnt mind but i know he takes GREAT pride in his gardens and grass in the front. but again i dont want to cause him any more frustrations. i really really want to hunt this land. it had the best potential for big bucks out of all three propertys.

the other twopropertys, one is only 10 acres and its right in the back yard of a neighborhood, great spot for Doe's as they are fed from all the neighboring houses. and yes i would be able to get 100 yards from their houses. thats not an issue, but the fact that there are 0 bucks around there doesnt help this contest. the other spot has SLIGHT potential.. i have seen one little rub, that was caused by a smaller buck maybe, MAYBE a 6 pointer.. no bigger. but alas who knows how long that guy will be on that property...

What do you guys think i should do in my current cituation? any sugestions woudl be appreciated! thanks alot fellas.

Where there are does, there will be bucks. You may not see them now, but they are there and they will be chasing those does in the next month!!

Andy-this spot that you so genually love is a burden to your neighbour.Is there anyway to move your stand a little farther in so he cant see ya.?Maybe you can find a different route and stay clear of his yard.Maybe you can also talk to him and offer him a couple steaks
Like IL_Bow said,where there are does the bucks will soon follow.If that 6 pointer comes out to ya and he looks good to ya,take him,remember you are the only person you have to please,and this is only a game.Besides we got 9 of us on the team to score yet(if you get the 6)
The bucks arent moving yet,still to warm.I did jump a dandy as i was checking out some rubs on sat afternoon,not far from my stand,prolly in the high 130 to low 140 class,at least it looked that way as he was high tailing it outta there-lol.Hope i can get him.
Good luck team.and remember we will beat the other teams silly,just a matter of time we start scoring on some bucks.

Here is my doe guys!!

OK double and buck magnet,

which one of youyoung whipper snappers is BILL??? hockplaya55 on AIM?
i was online with you for a few seconds thsi morning and i didnt put two and two together. sorry, hey it was 6:18 here! probabaly 7:28 out by you. but alas i am sorry for not realizing who you were, its hard to keep track of 74 AIm names!

mines is Tigersaiyin by the way. and for all of you my real name is Andy

so now we are all good!

good hunting guys, hope you get that big one...

just an update, i will try my favorite spot again, to see if i can sneak in and out. had another shot at a doe, but passed because i wasnt sure of teh yardage, i think it was close to 40 yards and i only have practiced out to 35 yards soooo. havent seen any bucks yet.

so Hazcon when am i coming out to hunt.... i mean visit ya???

Hey Andy,

I'm not allowed to have anyone with me on my private but I'd love to show you around some of my public stomping grounds - or any Team 4 IL Boy for that matter.

I'm headed down south this weekend but I'm free next Sat if you're interested.

DayStalker .... that was me lol my name is Joe HOCKPLAYA55

I was still half asleep , and have had some goofs just randomly IM me that turn out to be wierdos , and i didnt recall anyone with your screen name so i wasnt familiar with it!

Sry i wont make that mistake again lol , jsut if you all IM me lemme know who u r lol !

looks like ILNYPAKY-EH= unfilled tags. Come on now boys, everyone in this contest expected more from you guys. Like my dad always said "I am not mad, just dissapointed."
Goodluck you buckless suckers..

Now jerry is that the way to talk to the winning team,you will respect us
I think alot of us are waiting for bigger bucks,the best is yet to come,hopefully.I seen alot of spikes and forkhorns but no big shooters yet,they will show,you just wait and see.
That was a nice 8 point you got,congrats on him

I have been out all weekend and passed up 2 spikes and countless does.I tried rattling and grunting to no prevail,seems like they are not interested just yet.I had 2 spikes past my stand about 40 yards so i tried grunting at them to see what would happen,one look my way and kept walking,no interest at all.
The weather is another major factor for me.I wake up in the early morn and its raining or the wind is just howling.Then i went out sunday evening in a new spot and coulden't keep the mosquitos off me-I think i am being tested-lol.The only good thing is its getting cooler out everyday.Bad news is its supposed to rain friday and saturday again,go figure,the weekend.
Not many bucks being shot around here yet,they are just not moving.The spot i have my treestand also is an awesome spot,just gotta get the farmer on the other property to cut his corn and soyabeans,I think the deer are staying in it all day.
Well i will be out on sat morn for sure,rain or shine and hopefully in the evening as well.Just not sure if the young lad has a hockey game or not.He is the goalie on atom b1 team,i dont want to miss his first game.
Good luck guys and lets get one on the board
