layin on the smackdown Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Alright everyone...its that time of year that i have been waiting for since i left last november. I am heading to east central IL to hunt for a week or however long it takes me to connect on a giant. I'm hunting some great ground, its the same farm i took my biggest buck to date, the dude in my signiture. I planned a later start this year due to the moon, and it looks like the weather is going to be on my side, a little warm, but not hot, lows in the 30's and 40's highs in the 50's. I'm off from tonight until the 19th, so i am hoping i can put a big one down. Wish me luck, and if anyone wants to update this thread with my hunts, pm me with you # and i'll send daily updates. Should be good... my fingers are crossed, and the best of luck to all of you! dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 update alright team...i did not hunt on sunday, i just hung two stands and stayed out of the woods...it was super warm, and i figured the best thing to do was to back out and hit it hard today, and the rest of the week... Got in the stand this morning, had a anxioius doe come by at 7:15, and about 7:45 i had a borderline shooter come by...he was busted up pretty good on his right side, and i just didn't think he was what i was looking for, so he walked...sat til 12:15 didnt see a thing since that buck, and the woods were dead - other than squirrels... Headed back out at 2:00, put the finace up in one stand and i took to the climber...didn't see crap til about 4:45, i had a 2 1/2 year old 8 ptr chasin 2 does all over the place grunting and acting tough...it was pretty amusing...had him at 12 yds, but he also got the pass card. I'll be at again tomorrow morning and sitting as long as possible until nature calls....i will try and update again soon. good luck to all! dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
