    Hey guys and gals. 34 year old new member here from Illinois. Currently living in Collinsville but I was born and raised in Greene county. My parents bought an 80 acre farm back in 1987. Mostly timber but there is 16 acres in CRP. I learned how to hunt from my father. He passed away last October so my brother and I manage the farm now. I'm looking forward to this bow season since we put in new food plots this year. An acre of soybeans, 1/2 acre of corn, 1/2 acre of clover, and a 1/4 acre patch of turnips just put in 2 weeks ago. They should be fully matured late October.
