Youth weekend kept me out of the woods, used it to spend some quality family time at home. I’ll be on the road back to Illinois Friday for the weekend; rain Thursday and temps drop to high 20s low 30s with highs of mid 50s. I want to hold for a buck but I’m ready to fill both of my Illinois tags. I have a couple spots picked out for the weekend, going in kind of deep and sitting dawn to dusk.
Bad news....after a couple hundreds yards of tracking through thick stuff I found the arrow. Thr broadhead was the only thing missing. I knew i hit him high and forward but thought it looked like enough penetration. I was wrong. After 5 1/2 hours of searching and I feel confident he’ll be sore for a few days but will survive. Makes me sick that i made a bad shot though.
Here he is guys, posted the full story in LFTS thread. Guys I am so stocked, can’t believe how fast it happened!! Having trouble getting the pictures off my buddies phone but I got him to send me one! Will get the tape on him later this week, with this deer being in Maryland and me living in PA I couldn’t bring him over the border, had to take him to the butcher down there and will pick up the skull to get a euro done! Also Justin just a heads up this one will be submitted for trophy photos on the show lol! Feel free to give double deuces a shout out!! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums

Awesome. That’s quite the accomplishment. How did it go other than the terrible weather? Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Well at one point we ran through 6 inches of running water. I just wanted to finish and that’s what I did. My feet were raw by the end and have a huge blister on bottom of foot Not sure how many people out of the 30000 even finished Sent using Smoke Signals
Actually did better than I thought only little over 18000 finished out of 36000 So guess I did better than I thought considering Sent using Smoke Signals
How’s everyone’s season coming? I have yet to spot any chasing, going to get out after work tomorrow and hopefully get my buck back from the butcher this weekend to get the points submitted!! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I haven’t seen anything. My cams are basically dead. Hoping that changes soon. Can’t wait to get to Ohio Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Leaving here the 8th. Hunting southeastern Ohio on a semi guided hunt 9-15. All private land. Place is called Wolf Creek Whitetails of Ohio. I’m going along with some friends who have been there before. Anyone know if them or the area? Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I haven't seen any chasing here in N.GA. I did get this pic on a mock scrape I made on public. Buck in the background then he came and worked the scrape.
