    Oh yeah, I'm with you. We went out to the lease on Sunday and received permission to hunt an additional 150 acres of prime buck property. We picked up several hundred yards of a 50 yard wide hard woods following a creek bottom between two hills barring beans on one side and switch grass bedding areas on the other side. I hope to have some trail cam pics to show in the near future. We hung two stands near two pinch points and have 9 other stands up in other locations to the south of the new area.

    Last year a monster 12 point was killed strait across from where we hunt and my buddy arrowed a 250 lb 10 point which we tracked for over a mile, but failed to recover.

    September 14th can't come soon enough.

    Nah, Sam may get out earlier, but I bet he'd give a left one to hunt some mid-west monsters.

    Hey Oly, I used to hunt a small farm out near Thomson until three years ago when the owner died. Good farm hunting out that way. I never bagged a nice buck out there, but I killed enough fawns and does to bump up the genetics. We started seeing some nice racks, the last couple of years. I swear we had (see if I can dig it up) 6 point fawn the size of my Keeshond on the cam.

    Best of luck this season....I'll be directly north of you in Argyle WI. Big suckers out there.

    You guys need hobbies besides "getting ready for bow season".

    1 week until dove season.

    11 days until bow.

    Here Ya go. Just look at the head gear this lil fella is sporting. First pic is an attempt to crop and adjust the lighting. The date in the cam pic is wrong.
