ILL shotgun opener - who's chompin?
With the Illinois shotgun opener ''in our sights' who else is chompin' at the bit?
Me and Hoss1 certainly are. He's busy doing his school work he would have missed if he wasn't out hunting. And me? Well I pretty much have all our gear together, the tent aired out and rolled up and out other stuff packed up. I even put all new LED lighting on the trailer and rewired it all (I'm tired of problems with trailer lights!) Only thing left is oil change and air filter on the truck and oil change on the 4 wheeler.
We will be down in Johnson county, anyone in the neighborhood - stop on by.
Where are other guys (and gals?) hunting in Illinois?
Good luck and safe hunting to everyone!

I'll be here at home in Lake County, tucked away in a tree with my bow in hand. 
Good luck to everyone this weekend, and be safe! I expect to see some pictures when you guys get back.
