Illinois
Well first day, we climb stands, within 2 minutes son shot a doe. We both saw really good bucks today, no shot. Hunting public land, national forest.
|
Nice job.... keep us informed. I would love to go hunt up there one day.
|
Awesome
|
Nice Danny.
I'm like Blue, One day. |
Well I saw 3 bucks this morning, nothing I wanted to shoot, and 6 bucks this evening, 1 a big 8 passed just out of range. My son saw 14 this morning, no shots, 1 good buck, 0 this evening. I could have shot a big yote this evening but did not want to mess up this stand. Oh well maybe tomorrow.

Bow???

Wow.... sounds like you are in the hot zone. Stay after them. You will get your trophy.

F#$& Bama |
Danny..... you going to have those woods full of hunters.
I want to pull my camper up there and hunt a few days. |
Hehe, well went from us seeing 23 deer to 1 spike today. Weather change. Yes we bow hunting, love the challenge. Nice big deer up here, not all big bucks though, so if you come, don't expect a monster behind every tree. There is plenty public land to hunt. License will cost you $500 there about for a buck & doe tag.

Without a jacket on stand this morning, 45, no wind, sunny. Need some wind, these deer like to move in windy conditions, have never seen but few deer when no wind. Seen 1 doe so far this AM.

One I took last year |
With bow
|
So you get one doe and one buck Danny?
|
Yes with combo tag, then you can go back buy doe tag for $25, as many as you want.
|
If you buy doe tag first, you cannot buy a combo rags after. Combo tags are lottery, but they never sell them out, so they sell rest over counter till all sold. Lottery is June 1-30, you apply online Illinois DNR website.

What park yall hunting in?

Well weather finally got right Wednesday, this buck slipped by me 3 times, but didn't make it 4th time. 25 yd shot, ran 30yds piled up. 8pt, 200lbs plus. Not a monster, but got it done. Traveling in a transition of pine to hardwood.

Mathew's Z7 @60lbs, Gold Tip Arrows, Nap Maxx Spitfires, True Ball release, Millinium Lockon. I know a lot of people don't like mechanical broad heads, but I have had nothing but pass-thru's with this tip.

Shot him a little high, but caught both lungs & main artery below backbone.
|
Very nice congrats
