Bill what kind of grass is that?

Illinois's youth season is this weekend also, 84 degrees everyday, taking both my kids anyway!

I'm from IL and my 2 cents is this, you could already use a xbow if you were under 16, over 65 or had a disability, and just a couple years ago they let everyone use one after our 2nd gun season(ended the sunday after thanksgiving) so they didn't just open xbow just expanded it a little. I know...

I have a gas golf cart lifted with bigger tires on it, you would be surprised what they do. Mine has a flip up rear seat that can ride 4 or be a bed. We have some pretty good hills on our ground and it will haul 4 adults up them no problem. Also a whole lot cheaper than a utv.

Continental tire has a huge plant in MtVernon, IL, I know a lot of people that work there, check them out

My son and I went to our ground Sunday morning, started off with a coyote calling set, called one in but missed. Followed that up with frost seeding our clover plots, then got the 3 cameras we still had up( the deer are hammering the winter wheat right now), trimmed up some apple tree's, went to...

I built all mine with a extra 2x4 plate on the front wall, 1 1/2 drop on 6', water runs right off.

Mo buck do you have a system you use or just plant them and let mother nature do the rest?

Thanks Bill,

Does anyone know if Steve still does the aerial map designs or how to get a hold of him? or does anyone know of someone else does this?

Hey Steve was just reading the "ever hire a consultant post" and was wandering if you still did your map evaluations? And what you charge for the evaluation? If you still do them and are interested in looking at our property could you email me at scott@holthaustruck.com or feel free to text/call...

I agree with Jeff, I have made 6 box blinds on our property, 5 are 6X6 and work great for 2 people and 1 person bowhunting, you shouldn't have much waste at all. I would recommend making your side walls at least 6"6" tall so you can stand and stretch without hitting your head, also at 6' wide...

I'll second MObuck, look on your local craigslist, atv's can be had very reasonable and I have a gas golf cart that we run all over our property on, get the conversion kit to put a flip rear seat and you can put 4 people on no problem. Should be able to get both of these for 1/2 of a new utv.

My son, my friend and I were down at our hunting ground(southern IL) last weekend 11-13, one of us saw a nice buck every hunt except Sunday night. My friend had 4 bucks chasing a doe Friday morning, 2 bucks chasing a doe Friday evening in a different spot, I had a big 10 follow a doe across a...
