    Having a great season in Illinois. 4 does, 2 bucks so far. Have seen some real good deer this year. This last week has been like someone flipped a switch and turned on the rut! To top it all off my wife got her first bow kill this year with a nice doe! I ended up with two decent bucks. The smaller one fooled me a little He had nice length but was not very wide. He came in sideways and I didnt have alot of time to decide....... Also, a point of note: These 2 bucks were #s 25 and 26 in a row since switching to 2 Blade rage without losing one or having one of those "malfunctions" people like to blame things on.......... Also, I quit wearing carbon this year, but started taking 200mg Chlorophyll everyday 2 weekd before season and gargle with a mixture of Chlorophyll liquid and water mixed 50/50 before hunts. I will be doing that again next year! Lastly, I started shooting Gold Tip KInetics this year. I will never buy another one. Had inserts break inside the shaft from impact and also if you dent one side of the insert/outsert from impact the arrow is ruined. Broadheads will not spin correctly. Also started using Nockturnal lighted knocks this year (tried alot of others in the past). Nockturnals ROCK! Good luck to everyone this season!
