Dang, that's one I would really like to go to. But I've got Hunter Safety Education class to do on those days, and my 10 year old is attending.

Plus! I sure hate to miss out on free hot dogs! LOL

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

I think you mean Don Kisky, not Mark.

I'm gonna try to make it down on Sunday to do some scouting, then stop by to say hello and check things out.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

I'd love to make it down there........ but I'm not sure Justin has recovered from our last road trip.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Thanks for calling me back today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - Mike and I are thinking of cruising down to Effingham next Sunday to take a quick peak around, maybe hang a stand or 2, then catch the Kisky seminar. Interested in joining us??

Also - we need to get to Coon Creek this week. Let's plan on Tuesday or Thursday night, and then another "work party" on Saturday. Make sure Jim is there!!!

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

I'll be there, I only live about a mile away.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

For a guy who's not interested in the 3D Shoot or Big Buck Contest, what else is there that would attract a hunter all the way from Greenville? Do they have any discounts going on as I still need to pick up some gear and may as well take advantage of the trip if there's another reason for me to make it?

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Well fellas, that is way to far away for me.

But I wouldn't drive 20 miles to see Stan Potts. I just don't care for the guy. I seen a seminar of his at the Deer and Turkey Classic that was supposed to be about stand placement (I think) and it ended up being about an hour of how I shot my booner with my bow (and took a terrible shot I might add). After that, I just could care less about him.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Hey Justin....How are you guys goin down? Im probably way out of the way for you, but if you were anywhere near by, I was wonderin if you wanted to stop into the shop nearest to me, Central Illinois Archery. MaybeI could finally meet "God" on here. ;)

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

We're gonna be taken 57 south out of Chicago allllll the way down to Effingham. Plan on leaving here around 4 am, getting there around 8, hanging a few stands at our lease, heading over to the shop to check things out, and being back on the road home by 3-4.

Unfortunately you're about 120 miles out of our way so I don't think it's gonna happen on this trip.

When you're old enough to drive, maybe you can meet us somewhere for milkshakes and hamburgers.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Imight just head on down there to Buck Stop Archery for the 3D Shoot;)if they have it on Sunday.... I havent been to their shootssince last year at the ASA Qualifier.... about an hours drive for me .A decent course ... plenty of up and down hill shots.... last time we shot there the wind was so bad it blew my big golf umbrella inside out[:@]

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Hey! Im 16 buddy. 17 on Dec 30th. [>:][8D]

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Hey Illini,

They do have everything marked down 20% or more. There are some great deals. Also there are usually a ton of monster bucks there. Usually they have some live animals also. It usually takes a good hour or 2 two see everything. I would say it would be worth the drive from greenville.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Dude, when you hit Gilman (Route 24) you are within 20 miles of me!! Come and see me..on the way home of course!;)

In reality there is a pretty good resteraunt right there if you were in the mood for breakfast.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Is there a place in Gilman called "Fugly's"?

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Not that I am a aware of. It is just a truck stop kind of place. Usually pretty good food. When I worked 3-11 and we worked over, we would go over there at about 2 in the morning to eat.

Can't say I have ever heard of a place called Fugly's. Sounds interesting though!

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

We're on a pretty tight schedule for our 1 day trip, but I'm sure we'll meet up with you sometime this season. We'll be taking another, more extended, scouting/stand hanging trip sometime early next month so maybe we'll work something out for then.

If Dairy King can get permission from his parents, maybe he can take the Greyhound out to meet us.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

word of warning if you get close to IL BOW MAN's area keep moving and lock the doors ,you hear alot of banjo music over there

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

There is nothing to worry about when you hear the banjo's...but when you hear the squeeling...you better run!!;)

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

How far is Buckstop Archery from Effingham? Being a native Hoosier I visit my old home state more than I do anything west of Effingham unless I take in a Cardinals game.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Cardinals??!!

That's it.. you're banned!

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

;)A Cubs fan?

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

30 min from eff.

Wow, if they had discounts going I was totally unaware. I took a Gerber Hand Saw up to the counter that was tagged at $14.00 thinking that it would be marked down. Definitely walked out the door $15.92 poorer with only a collapsible handsaw to show for it. I was going with the intent of buying a Polartec Facemask.........but not for $75.00. Are you kidding me?

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Sorry Illini-

This show was not as good as the last couple years. Usually there are more drawings and some better deals then what they had. I did not mean to promote some mis-information.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

Oh I'm by no means blaming you. It was my mistake to not ask about a discount before he rang me up at the counter.

RE: IL HUNTERS
 

After the show on saturday we wentto town. I got tosocialize with don kisky,stan potts(just for a little bit), and scott ?, (the guy who killed the macomb monster last year). There were also a few product reps there. It was a fun evening. They were all nice people.
