Returned From Illinois, Hanging Stands
Just got home late lastnight from being out in Illinois hanging stands on our farms. We didn't even have time to take pictures, this was all work!!!! We got all the stands up, all in prime areas, all with major trails. The local people even told us that antler growth seems so much better this year then in the last few years, I guess the rains have helped. We spotted 5 shooters, from 130" to over 160", and we never even went glassing the fields. We also placed out 3 trail cams, come early November we will see whats on there. The ticks are out of control out there!!!!

I was there this past weekend and spend a good part of Saturday morning walking over some ground I just bought in Wayne county. Didn't have any problem with ticks, deer flies or mosquitos.
