    I live in Roscoe now. I grew up in Pecatonica.

    I hunt in Crawford county with my dad who's on team 16.

    Wow...what a small world. Next time I head down there I will have to let you know and maybe we can grab a burger and talk hunting. Nobody in her family hunts, so it gets pretty boring fast

    Had my first sit tonight and saw nothing till I got back to the parking lot and saw a button buck he bumped but he at least went back into the woods. Its does only until oct anyway. I had a really good feeling about tonight, pretty bummed I didnt see anything but man it was nice to be out there again.

    Weather here in central IL is cooling off finally. It feels great but its killing me at the same time. October 1st season opens, the countdown is on.

    Got the final stand hung on the WI property. Checked the cameras. Plenty of young bucks and a couple shooters. I'll post pics later. Opener for WI is Saturday but we are leaving it alone until mid October to keep the pressure off of it.

    IL opener is October 1st.

    Anyone have any other hobbies they are involved with outside of hunting or archery?

    Personally I have three loves Hockey, Hunting, and Fishing! Played hockey since I was 8 and am continuing to play in adult leagues. Once the ice melts in the spring I am all about Walleye and then I transition to bass and Lakers during the summer.

    I also enjoy fishing. The other thing I love doing is training k9s for duty and continued training of police K9 teams.

    In the two years I’ve lived on my property I’ve rarely hunted my 15 acres (see below in green). It’s just a pass through property that is only really decent during the rut and during the rut I want to hunt my good stuff rather than take a chance that a buck is cruising on that property... That’s my rationale anyway.

    [​IMG]

    My hunting buddy, who also happens to be my neighbor and that I share a lease with just down the road from this photo has his own little private slice of heaven (see above in blue). He’s got several shooters on camera including this beautiful buck (probably pushing 170”).

    We know this buck will travel - he could have this buck on his private land. If I draw a line from the middle of my private 15 and the middle of his private land it’s exactly a half mile. If I draw a line from that exact same spot on his land to our leased property it’s 1.2 miles. In other words - he could be anywhere... Ahh what to do - what to do. One thing I’m pretty confident of - he’s not nearly the best buck in the area.

    Man I’m with you - I love to fish!! It’s been a heck of a good year for me too. Where do you fish?

    I’ve fished some of the best big bass lakes in the country Kentucky Lake and Lake Falcon (Texas). Fished a few smaller lakes here in Indiana and even a few creeks & farm ponds.

    All from this year:
