Found this pic from a 3 day, dead deer everywhere, LFTT in Jan 2014

[Jim Thompson]

I found this pic from the neighbors TC and it caused me to go re-read this old thread. I had 3 days in January 2014 to end the IL season. With a bunch of doe tags and a buck tag left along with brand new on the market DRT broadheads, I had a freaking blast!

GOOD TIMES and hundreds of deer!!!!

Go check it out. http://forum.gon.com/threads/jt-is-live-from-the-tree-3-days-in-il-last-of-2013-14-series.788560/

Well, one thing I learned is if I ever go hunt with you, I’m hunting from the back of your truck!
Great read. Look forward to following this year. Don’t think I’ve ever followed before. Actually done think I was even on here last deer season.

Headed up 19 Sept for 4 days.

Work 306 acre Schuyler farm. Trim, add ground blinds, may add a stand. Pull cams.

Help GON friend get settled on 40 acre farm I have - 10 miles from Pike County line.

Work new 177 acre McDonough farm, we added stands in summer, will trim and pull cams.

Work new 253 acre farm in western end of Schuyler. No stands or cams there yet, looks very promising.


Best of luck to all members but specifically to the road warriors.

I dont typically name them, although it's hard not to when Bubba does and keeps saying it's name over and over again all season .

I guess I can call him dead??? Cause I shot him dead

Jim, I hope those flying devil bugs leave you guys alone long enough to get your work done

 

[SC Hunter]

I just reread the entire thread and loved every post. Good luck this season to everybody!

If I didn't know better I would think Jim is in his twenties doing all that work. I think this may be your year for an Illinois giant...Good luck!!

Good luck Jim - get it done, brother!

I am under no illusions that I will get it all done... I always run out of “day” before I get the tasks done.

Running a bunch of cams, looking forward to seeing the velvet growth phase from the summer.

November will arrive, as it always does, before we know it.

It is more maintenance in September than anything...

Keith will be with me (and was in the summer) and he is definitely the muscle!

I went on a hunt like that once on my brother's FIL's place on the Cooper river in South Carolina. He said "stack 'em like cordwood" so I did. I killed 3 does and a 4 pointer Friday night and followed up with a nice 8 pointer Saturday around noon. I didn't even scratch the surface of the local population.
