Tony Smotherman Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yes sir, it is that time again!! The first gun season in Illinois starts on Friday and I am rolln' north with my new .50 caliber CVA Apex in hand. I have hunted this season since the early 90's and would not miss it for the world. I talked with my farm manager and outfitter, Toby Stay, and he said it seems like the bucks have been in lock down for the last few days but hopefully that will change by Friday..opening day. I will keep you posted!! Tony Smotherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTech292 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sounds good, maybe one day I will make to Ill. for one of the (deer) seasons don't matter to me, I'll throw rocks at 'em if I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm in Indiana and the big boys seemed to be locked down last weekend for our gun opener. The check stations had some decent bucks in, but the majority came in the week before..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Smotherman Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I went to my farm in Brown County and scratched out fellows. All the corn is still standing which has killed all the deer activity in the timber. I am going to head back up next week for the second gun season and hopefully the farmers have had a chance to harvest the corn by them.

billkay Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 With all the rain we've been getting up this way, I'd say the corn is going to be around for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rad_112176 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Good luck Tony. The farmers have been hitting the fields pretty good the end of this week but we are calling for rain in this area ( Jefferson County ) today. I think they say they have around 70% of the corn off in our county as of mid week. Hopefully the second rut will kick in next weekend to get the big boys back on there feet. The only good thing i see so far is next year should have some good bucks running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
