need2hunt Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Some more good news!! I originally didn't put in for any IL gun tags because I was supposed to go to Anticosti to hunt deer from Dec 5-11. As fate would have it, my Anticosti trip was moved up to November 22-27 which opened up the IL muzzleloader season. There were only 46 either-sex tags left over for the daily draws and a buddy here at work and I put in hoping to get one. He'll be a bit mad at me because he didn't draw BUT I DID!!! So that means that it looks like I'll be hunting down at Eagle Lakes Outfitters in Pike County IL for the upcoming muzzlelaoder season!!!!

need2hunt Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well guys nothing exciting to report from last night other than it was a nice night to sit in a treestand. Things are cranking up here and my hunting time and free time to be in here is going to be low. Here's my schedule which of course can and will change at any given moment LOL... Oct 10-11 - film my girls for IL youth gun season Oct 12-16 - film womens hunt in Pike Oct 19-27ish - film Vicki in ND Nov 1-10 - film in Iowa Nov 20-21 - Film IL shotgun hunt Nov 22-27 - Hunt whitetails in Anticosti Island (YAH!) Dec 3-6 - Hunt whitetails in Pike with muzzleloader Dec 11-13 - Hunt whitetails in Pike with muzzleloader (if tag not filled) Somewhere in there still get all the work done at the office. So if I'm not in here much it just means I'm out there somewhere, I'll try to keep you all updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think we just have to PM an administrator/moderator to change it. I went out Sunday afternoon, seen 8. 2 spikehorns with 6 does, 2 of the mature does were bigger than the spikehorns. Also got a turkey tag and went out Sunday morning, heard some, just couldn't get them close enough. Best of luck everyone! Be safe and have fun!
