My favorite hunting memory is about to repeat itself this weekend just like it does every year at this time. Deer camp with my family for the IL gun season is my favorite memory I have of hunting. 4 cousins, an uncle, my brother and dad all in camp and its some of the best memories I have.
Even though the hunting isn't really that good anymore the time we spend in camp together makes the trip worth it.

Agreed. Saturday I only heard a few shots with the temps in the low teens but on Sunday the low was only in the 30 degree range and I heard lots of shots.

LOTS of shooting around here. Sounds more like an opening morning than day 2! Same here.

Well this is it my last hunt of my vacation. Hopefully I can at least get a doe on the ground to finish filling the freezer.

I also saw 16 doe this morning in various groups of 2,3,&4. Not a single one had a buck with them or following. I think its starting to wind down in my neck of the woods

I will still be bow hunting during the opener tomorrow. Might try to take a doe with a pistol but still want to punch my buck tag with archery equipment.

Yotes are pretty talkative this morning. Sounds like they pretty much have all the area ridge tops covered

Well no luck last night. Just got settled in for the day. Temp is 33 with a high of 42. And no full moon lighting my way this morning I had to actually use my head light to get to my stand.
Good luck everyone who is lucky enough to hunt today

Wasn't in the stand 30 minutes and the biggest buck I have on camera just chased a doe across the middle of my food plot then back again. I hope she comes back out to feed later and brings him. My only issue is this wind keeps on shifting
