    Well I got set up for my first hunt at home in IL and the farmer just showed up to cut the corn field right next to me. At the rate he is going he may be done right before prime time.....I hope

    Good luck in west central IL. I decided to hold off until next weekend. Should see our first freeze if all works out. Hopefully the winds won't be too bad. I'll be out Friday through hopefully Sunday morning and start my vacation the following weekend.

    Wind willing I will start all day sits on Halloween.

    In the stand.

    Trail cams are not encouraging... 0 daytime movement. We will see what happens.
