    My 2nd cousin is begging me to come hunt his farm again and kill every deer that walks by. They are doing damage to his crops. This is the farm I started bowhunting in IL back in 1996 and killed my first archery buck that year along with a few more over the years. The farm is 640 acres with 125+ acres of woods. Might have to set a couple trail cams up there to see if the deer are still doing the same things. Here is an aerial of the prop. Its only about 10 minutes from my farm too. There is a couple other guys hunt it, but I have a few out of the way spots that they don't hunt.....I hope.

    Good luck with it. You can't have too many hunting spots. Keeps a guy from over pressuring the ones he got.

    Looks good JM! Maybe a break from the routine of the past few years will help snap you out of this funk. Need to see you sitting behind something with antlers on it's head this fall. :rock:
