    Friday/Saturday/Sunday here in northern Illinois the woods will be HOT. Big cold front pushing through with temps in the high 20’s and mid 40’s! I’ll be hunting hard and getting in a stand that I’ve stayed out of all year where I shot a good one last year this exact weekend!

    Today is my last day of work. Tomorrow evening I'm going after a 4.5 year old 8 point that I have seen bed on a point with tomorrow's predicted wind. Hopefully he does it again.

    A new 10pt and the 8pt is still around. Both are in TN and I would probably shoot either 1.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Soooooo quick update. I set a stand and sweet baby Jesus it's perfect in a cluster of 4 trees with crazy Vines. 3 lanes but I have a great feeling. On my way out I grabbed a card that has only been out 2 days and bang Dilater was there at 732 after I saw him at 524 last night and that means me crossed two open fields in daylight.

    Nice to hear everyone’s plans unfold, I’m in a stand currently. I just had a shooter come by at 40yds no shot opportunity, he cut the hill to the ridge where I been hunting some evening and walked right past my one hang on, I swear they know when your not in the stand. Good news is I should have got a pic of him I have a cam up there, if I did I’ll post it to share. Goood luck boys!

    Go get them guys! I've got a few new bucks on my last card pull but unfortunately that cold front is leaving me with the wrong wind for that area all this week. I may try some public land this weekend if I'm able to get some time

    I wasn’t in the stand 5 minutes and had a real young 8 pointer show up and then a button buck. Should be a good night! Also had a couple fresh scrapes from today about 50 yards from my stand

    What a night this has been. I had one of my hit listers at 50 yards behind me along the creek. Wouldn’t come any closer but I saw him head into the woods so hopefully I see him
