    Thanks! Its taken every bit of effort. And a little luck for sure! I really had to push myself to keep grinding it out.Hopefully we can all be on a team again next year. Im going to definitely try to put another doe down. We “should be” 50 points heavier if it wasnt for some doofus back in october that didnt take his pics. :lol:

    Wow guys, just checking in now and realized we’re in the lead.

    So I’m pretty excited, last week my wife and I closed on buying our first farm. We got 100 acres plus a small home, barn, and grain bin silos in Fulton County Illinois. The place is loaded with deer, I should be able to put a doe down before season is over for an extra 50 points. We’ll be at the farm for a full week between Christmas and New Years.

    I’ve included a picture below of the aerial map, I’ve also included a picture of one of the shed antlers the previous owner left for me in the barn.

    Congrats, looks like a great property. I doubt I’ll ever own any ground at this point in my life. I’m happy for you and your family.
    keep grinding!

    Wow Rick that looks amazing. Congrats! What a freak shed. Nothing like owning your own chunk of big deer habitat.

    Congrats on the new place, Rick. I just love farm houses. You going to be farming it - or just a good deal?

    Anyone who can and is willing put a doe down. We are in first but we are far from secure. Fletch is on team 12 and he is going into late season buck mode, a couple does for any of a number of other teams could bump us. Still all fun and NO Pressure! Just trying to pump up the jam! :bow:

    Thanks all, my whole family is pretty excited!

    Shocker - We are not too far from Beardstown, that maybe 20 minutes away. It’s right off rt 100 between Havana and Browning.
