Huge Buck Last Night!!

Shooting light was fading fast and a monster 10 pointer was heading my way along the edge of the field. My heart was pumping so fast and hard, I just knew that buck could hear and feel the vibration. My whole body was shaking uncontrollably: this was the moment, my moment…......I dont actually remember pulling the trigger, but as I was walking up to this buck of a lifetime laying motionless on the ground words could not begin to describe how disappointed I was when I realized I was still in my pajamas. To pour a bit of salt onto the fresh wound, I couldnt even fall back asleep to finish the dream!

I am definitely thinking there is some divine significance to this dream vision, and what is to come Friday evening. I will definitely report back with details from the weekend spent in the woods. Deer Camp 2009 we will be staying out at Norris and hunting over near Middle Grove.

While not quite as big as the buck last night, here is a pic I found of a somewhat similar deer.

My turn to showcase some Buck Pics

Archery season 2009 has most definitely been amazing so far. Seems like every day one of my friends is shooting a monster buck. These arent just the normal 140-150 class deer that usually would be sent my way and considered real Illinois Trophy Bow Kills. For some odd reason this season (I am sure many theories are beginning to form) all my friends are harvesting Booners??? Here is a collection of pics from this season so far:

Jacob Heimer’s Opening Day Missouri Buck

Ryan Pudik’s Mid-October Otter Creek Buck

Todd Staley’s MONSTER Fulton County Typical Bow Kill

Ryan Pudik’s Mid-November Otter Creek Buck II

Hopefully on Friday or Saturday I will be able to post a picture of my own Illinois Trophy Buck!???

Outdoorsman- Who is your Role Model?

Been doing alot of thinking lately about who in the outdoor world has been the most influential over the years. Doing some research I found where scientists from several really big universities have joined forces and put together a very very accurate, yet mathematically scientific method of finding the most influential person in your life. GIVE IT A TRY, it only takes a few seconds (for most)

FIND OUT WHO TRULY IS YOUR ROLE MODEL. DON’T SCROLL DOWN YET, DO THE SIMPLE MATH BELOW, THEN SCROLL DOWN TO FIND YOUR HERO. It’s CRAZY how accurate this is!

No peeking!
1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9

2) Multiply by 3 then

3) Add 3

4) Then again Multiply by 3 (I’ll wait while you get the calculator….)

5) You’ll get a 2 or 3 digit number….

6) Add the digits together

Now Scroll down

...............

With that number, see who your ROLE MODEL is from the list below:

1. Jeff Lampe
2. Bill Dance
3. Jimmy Houston
4. Jim Shocky
5. Harry Canterbury
6. Tim Wells
7. Ray Scott
8. Babe Winkelman
9. Nate Herman
10. Teddy Roosevelt

I know, I know… I just have that effect on people. One day, you too can be like me.

P.S. Stop picking different numbers! I AM YOUR IDOL, JUST DEAL WITH IT!
