    The Titan is full up. I have 2 hang ons, with tree ladders, my climber, my Boss decoy, plenty of camo, two bows, more than a dozen arrows, video camera, digital camera and so very much more. I'm pulling out at about 6:00 am, that should put me, after meeting several people on my route, in IL around 6:30/7:00 IL time. The trip says 12:23 minutes. We'll see.

    The first stop, a very generous Dr. Andy is putting me up for two days. He says me shooting a doe there would do everyone a favor so that's what my agenda is. Then I can concentrate on a big bruiser the next 8 days.

    Anyone interesting in connecting, PM me your number or get a hold of someone with my number.

    Well I arrived at Camp Andy to be greeted with a wonderful meal as promised! Was also surprised to see Todd as I pulled up. After a great meal Todd took off and stratigies began for the mornings hunt! Sounds like the west wind may hurt all of us but will have to wait and see. We are also being covered up with snow as we speak. Definetly going to be an interesting morning! Now off to bed!

    Good luck to everyone this weekend!!!

    Well it was a rather uneventful day for Rob/PA, Dr. Andy and myself. Rob was able to view 5 bucks thoughout the day but never had any chances to take a shot. Pretty much the same story for Dr. Andy also.

    I hunted some public land nearby and what a waste that was. I hunted or tried to hunt an area that was so over grown it was impossible to find any decent trees to even get in. And because it is public in IL I am unable to trim any branches.

    But Rob has now departed us(hopefully for better hunting) and Dr. Andy and I will be back at it first thing in the morning! Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
