Hi all! I'm Tara and this is my second season bowhunting. I'll be spending time in Northern IL for the majority of the season. My goal is to bring home my first deer, to get that buck on the wall. Looking forward to hearing all of your success stories! Good luck Team 18!
Good to see you Tara!! I figured I'd check In now being I'm heading out here In about an hour for a week bear hunting In northern Mn. Good bunch of people on this team!!! See you all Sunday sometime!!
Hello Team #18, glad to be part of it. The name's Todd and I hunt in the Northern Illinois and also go down to Central Illinois. October 1 cannot come soon enough!
Good luck Steve! Can't wait to hear all about it. Curious where in MN - i was born & raised there, family has a place near Deerwood. Even further north of that is just gorgeous land. Enjoy and be safe!
OK Im ready I think. I am going to do my best to get it done this year. I just had back surgery monday morning but my dr thinks I might be good to go by the 1st. I am hunting down in the ottawa area and some public areas in the northwest burbs. Good luck to all and welcome to the bowhunting world Tara
Hey everyone! My name is Paul and I live and hunt in central WI. Bow season starts Sept. 18th here and it is coming fast but I am ready for it. I have been getting a lot of deer on camera and it's looking good this season! Good Luck to everyone!!!!
Best of luck on the bear hunt Steve and good luck on the early season huntwi88. Can't wait to check my camera this weekend. First time I've ever putting one out. Hope I have more than skunks and raccoons. Fingers Crossed!
DEERSLAYER checking in. I'm not ready yet, but I'll get it together. It should be a good year. Tara, I think you have a really good chance of getting that buck this year! It's hard to beat Illinois. Glad to have you on board!
Nothing for me but one of the guys In our 4 man party got a 190lb dressed bear. On the way up I drive just west of Deerwood Tara on hwy 6. I hunt north of Deer River about 45 miles. This picture's didn't turn out very well but the 2 here turned out alright and was about the best ones In the 20 or so I took. It was raining and windy when I took these pics. My camera didn't work for some reason where the bear died but worked after we got It back to camp. That's where I took this pic. The little guy In this picture Is my nephew Beau with his dad (my brother) Jason. It was Beau's 1st time ever seeing a bear In the wild, he's almost 3 years old. The guy In camo Is Larry who's been a long time friend of the family and great hunting buddy!! He's the wounded hunter who got this bear. He shot this bear with his recurve with 3 broken ribs that he broke at work 2 weeks back. The bear dressed out at 190lbs. He's full of fat too. The bear are In very good shape this year In northern Minnesota.
OK back surgery was done last monday and seems to have worked great. I can promise I will be up in my stands on the first and bring us the scores. good luck everyone
Glad you made it! And, hoping that whatever is going on is on the mend sooner rather than later. Good luck.....
