Yep it's that time again!
We decided to hit the road a little early and after packing the truck and trailer at lunch we are now rolling thru west Illinois headed to Missouri. The weather looks like its gonna be nasty hot most of the trip
This is about how the 2014 series will go...
Oct 23-Nov 1 we will be at a motel in Macon MO which is halfway between our 2 farms. One is the 40 acre farm in Adair (many of you will remember the neighbor lady shooting over our heads! ) and a new 300 acre farm in Linn county. We share the new farm with young Hunk and rdurham and Sunday's Money all from here. We have never seen the new farm so as usual it'll be a challenge while scouting and stand hanging at break neck speeds.
Nov 2-7 will be our Outfitter Spotlight in Latham OH with Sunfish Valley Whitetails. We've never been to OH but of course hear great things about it and some wonderful things about SVW.
Nov 7-whenever we are going back to our farm Knox county NE. This area was hit very hard 3 years back with EHD but had been coming back every year. We not only added more land to it, we are also meeting rdurham and Scott Williams up there.
After NE we will drop back down to MO again as needed.
Nov 21-23 we will swing back to Illinois and hit the first 3 day gun hunt.
After that it's a coin toss as to whether we stay in Illinois or drop down to KY or run back to MO. Basically we will be chasing the deer at that point It's def time for a lil redemption after we screwed up on the 2 MO bucks and the haircut I gave the big 8 in KY!
Should be at the hotel around 9pm although we don't know that they can take us a day early so we may be sleeping in the truck tonight
Will do all we can to make this season fast and entertaining. Like always I can never guarantee the deer, the weather, the neighbors, the equipment or anything else will cooperate... but can always promise a good time and a ride packed with the highs and lows we all experience every time we sit a stand!
Load up boys it's time!
