6ANut Report post Posted August 8, 2013 I really didnt know where to post this but I just got 2 more tags to my already endless amount of animals I can chase this year. Thanks you JLW for getting me hooked on this stick and string stuff, its gonna be a blast. My father-in-law owns some real nice land in the heart of farm country in Illinios. He put me in for the whitetail draw this year, without even telling me. Wouldn't you know it more animals I get to chase all over god's green country, one doe tag and one buck tag. I do have my reservations about hunting in a state where this so called Dicator in Chief came about but chasing animals in different states is always fun. Good luck to all this year, its almost game time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CWpredator Report post Posted August 9, 2013 I've got family in Illinois and have been heading back there yearly the past few years to chase some giant whitetail in substitute of the 2 weeks I'd take off every year for an elk tag (that I can never seem to draw)... I've seen some giant bucks and tons of beautiful country back there. I hunt in Fayette county in southern IL and I feel very fortunate that I have the opportunity to go back there and hunt every year. 1000% different hunt then chasing deer here in AZ but its a blast in its own right!

CWpredator Report post Posted August 9, 2013 Here's a little something to get you guys with Illinois tags blood pumping. A deer we watched 2 days before the season opened and never saw him again untill the last evening of the hunt. My stepdad was lucky enough to have him come in front of him and he smoked him. Here's a picture of him hanging on the wall. Sorry I can't get the picture to rotate right 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
