Recommended Posts

I went out today as it's the Illinois bow opener, and I put the thwack on 2. Both were does. I let the Hoyt and muzzys do there work. 30 yard clear shot. Double lung shot deer went 30 yards and expired. The first deer I shot was at 25 yards, took out one lung and liver, she went 15 yards and expired. Talk about a great first day out!!! I went out today and told myself and my Dad I was going out to harvest a doe so I could concentrate on a few big bucks i'm after. Well i'm one happy hunter let me tell ya!! I have some pics to put up later today. I'm goin out to check out some more property.

Congrats!

Finally! October 1st!!!!!!

I'm working today, and tomorrow (however, I'm going out for 2 hours tomorrow morning and then I get 2 more after work just before dark).

The morning spot I'm not expecting much from, but the evening spot will be prime. I'm anticipating on seeing a lot of deer. I'll be holding out for a big buck that first evening.

Lets see those does!

I will attempt to my pics up when I get back in tonight from hunting. I'm taken my Dad to my best stand tonight since he dosen't get to hunt much due to work. It's a set I hung after catching some monsters and a ton of does on all summer, so i'm gonna flim him tonight. Crops haven't changed so i'm hope'n we get somethin in range. He said he will be happy with a doe the first day of the season, but i'm really hope'n he lays the smack down on a nice mature buck!! Like I said I will try and get those pics up. I know there is a post somewhere that tells how to do it could someone post it on here or pm it to me please (sorry I still havent figured out how to do that after being here for how long lol) Gotta go get Dad's scentblocker out of the dryer its time to perch up in a tree! Hopefully there will be more pics to post tonight!!

Ok so update on lastnight, had a blast filming my dad. First time we have been in the same tree together since I was like 8 years old, even tho I was above him it was still alot of fun! We had about 25 min. of shooting light left.. when what looked like a 140- 150 class buck stepped out of the corn into the bean field at 450 yards (rangerfinders and binos are amazing:D) . I swung the camera around and turned it on and it said that the light was to low. I had all sorts of words running through my head. But to make a long story short the buck never did come within range, I called my buddy and had him ride down the side of the bean field about a quarter a mile away and scare the deer off the field so he didn't see us. All in all it was a great hunting with my dad like in the good ole days again. I'm gonna try put the pics up tonight sorry I have been busy deer hunting non stop since yesterday. Hopefully I can figure it out haha.
