New Illinois deer camp created

[WickOhio]

Last weekend of October Dane (Spitife) and I will be scouting a new camp in Illinois. 180 acres of Private property full of ladder and box stands and big bucks! Wish us luck. It's going to be a party.

[Thunderflight]

What county is the camp? Are you all going to lease it for next year?

TF

[rjolenic]

I wish I could make it this year, but it will have to wait until next year since I have the wedding in Cleveland to attend. I hope my spot is there for next season Wick and Spitfire.

By the way, the property looks awful gosh darn sweet!

[rjolenic]

The spot that you have here is managed 24/7/365! Sweet place, and an almost guarantee at a big buck. Can't wait to hit it next year. I'm in, even with Zaleski ... I'm in!

[Q2XL]

:o :rolleyes:

[WickOhio]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Sounds like a good time, have fun and be safe and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thunderflight]

What county in Illinois?

TF

[WickOhio]

Not sure of the county. I will get that today and post.

[Thunderflight]

Are you all leasing the land?

TF

[fox hunter]

count me in next yr good luck and hey wick try to scout some tail for me huh

[Spitfire]

Come on Q2Xl!!!! You know you would go!!

[Thunderflight]

If you all have room for one more I may be interested too. If not then that's fine. I just won't send you any Christmas cards.:D

TF

[Spitfire]

YOu need to swing by Lake Hope and pick up the '04 Deer Camp T-Shirt. Then we'll talk about Illinois!!!!:D

[Thunderflight]

I don't think I'm going to be in town during this years camp, otherwise I would.

;)

TF

[Spitfire]

AH man, that sucks!!! Nov. 10 - 14

[Thunderflight]

Actually I'll be there, but I'll be pressed for time.

How far is Lake Hope from Johnstown?

TF

[Thunderflight]

So are you all going to check out a lease? If so are you leasing it for the whole year or just a week?

TF

[Spitfire]

Wickohio would have to answer that question Thunder. It would be nice to get a lease in Illinois of 180 acres. With food plots, blinds and treestands already put up. Where are you going to be this year in Illinois?

[Thunderflight]

I'll be hunting Pearl in Pike County. It's only 40 acres, but I'm hunting for free. :)

TF

[george tinkham]

prolly bout 75 miles thnflt...

[rjolenic]

You guys are going to be hunting managed land with existing stands and BIG BUCKS galore. I wish I didn't have the wedding to go to or I am there. I am so glad that Spitfire could take the vaccancy and have the opportuntity. Good luck Boys!

Build the foundation for next year and we will be there. I don't care what comes up next year, if you are going to be at the same property next year, I am there! From what I can tell, it is going to be stellar!

You'll get that buck!

[Thunderflight]

Did you all get archery tags for Illinois?

TF

[Spitfire]

We leave tomorrow morning for two days of fun in Illinois. Hopefully we'll have some pic's when we return.

[Thunderflight]

Be sure to stop at Hooters on the way there and back.

Take pictures too!!!

TF

[Spitfire]

Can't promise anything but we'll try and get'er done for ya!!

[Thunderflight]

I know this is a dangerous mission. If anyone can complete it, then that man is you.

Be safe and god speed. (que: America the Beautiful).

TF

[Spitfire]

Very DANGEROUS!!!!!! Is that the SOP for going on out of state hunts? Just want to know cause if it is we might have to adopt that tactic for Deer Camp every year. Make a trip to Hooters one night for supper.:D

[fox hunter]

mmmmmmm

[rjolenic]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Good luck guys, be safe, have fun shoot nothing less than 150 class.

Ray

[Thunderflight]

You all are finally starting to get the message!!!!!! :)

TF

[Spitfire]

Or unless it has an antler growing out of it's leg and then Wick is going to shoot that.:D

[rjolenic]

That sounds like wick!

[Thunderflight]

I thought you were just going scouting? Did you all get archery tags?

TF

[Spitfire]

It's a BIG secret!!!!!:D

[Thunderflight]

Why do I think I've been baited, hooked and reeled in?

TF

[rjolenic]

I'm glad that Spitfire could take my spot. Good luck boys!

rjo

[Thunderflight]

With the WN deer camp and the DC boyz in Illinois OS.com is going to be slow for a few days.

TF

[Spitfire]

Well, Wickohio and I had a great time. We didn't get anything but saw alot of deer. I had chances at does but w/ the kind of bucks that they have around there decided to hold off. It was an awesome experience!!! We dealt w/ high winds the entire time we were there, 40mph gusts at times. So considering we saw deer in those conditions I'll chalk this up as a successful trip.

[Thunderflight]

So what's the story with next years Illinois deer camp?

TF

[Spitfire]

Your guess is as good as mine. Wickohio is the master mind behind the whole camp thing. Not sure where that is headed.

[fox hunter]

at least it wasnt a shut out...that would have sucked...did you guys see any nice buck...oh yeah i loved the message and tell lindsay to suck it up

[Spitfire]

LMAO!!!!!!!! I guess that itch is getting pretty bad!

[Buckmaster]

IL Pics? Where are they?

[WickOhio]

I am going to get them posted after November camp. Had a great time. Everyone ready to rock Zaleski?

[fox hunter]

time to rock out with our...........um bows out, yeah we need to shoot a dag gum deer down there this year...no foolin around cuzs...(or what ever the plural of cuz is)

[rjolenic]

Cuzs'

There will be no clowning around at this year's camp. It's is in the woods at 5:00 AM and out at 9:00 PM. HIKE!

It's in the pact!

[fox hunter]

thanks for gramatical assistance rjo...i agree 5 to 9... no clowning around... time to get-r-done or at least attempt gettin-r done...

[WickOhio]

Screw that! I'm as drunk as a belgian monkey on crack!

[fox hunter]

lmfao...where in the hell did you come up with that...P.S. i am hunting hard and i refuse to drink...unless its RC Cola

[rjolenic]

I won't play the deer camp song unless you have a frosty one with dinner on Friday JB.

A drunk belgian monkey on crack!? What the .......... ? You worry me at times Wick, you worry me. It must have been your time in the Navy that made you this way, I don't know ......

[Spitfire]

Since I don't drink at Deer Camp anymore I'll bring a couple cases of Mountain Dew!
I don't want to be a Wick Cheese eatin' Belgian MOnkey on Crack!

[rjolenic]

Are you feeling OKAY Spitfire? Not drinking anymore, come on, who are you kidding?

Ray

[Spitfire]

Oh, it was Pres. Bush that was doing the Texaws Two Step on Mr. Ed's face!!!!!

[rjolenic]

Neighhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thunderflight]

Actually if your going to be drinking heavily then you probably shouldn't be hunting the next day.

TF

[rjolenic]

Good point! Seriously, we don't drink too much at camp, we are all about eating the good food.

;)

[Thunderflight]

Sounds like you all are going to gain 15 + pounds. :eek: ;)

TF

[Thunderflight]

has anyone actually killed a deer during deer camp?

TF

[Spitfire]

There are a few of us that have! Fox Hunter actually took two in less than 24hrs. two yrs. ago.

[rjolenic]

Wick has, DJ has, and another guy that use to go with us did too. Everyone else has been shut out !

rjo

[fox hunter]

thats one of my favorite stories...that was a lot of fun...lucky but fun

[Spitfire]

Seeing you walk out of the wood line w/ CD carrying that deer like a rabbit was hilarious!!!!!!:D

[fox hunter]

that was a lot easier drag than the others i have had down there...

[Spitfire]

What would you be referring to? I wouldn't have a clue!!! Do you know what he is talking about CD?!

[fox hunter]

[rjolenic]

LMAO ! How could you fall asleep with a french fry in your hand? We need pictures of that!

rjo

[Spitfire]

Is that what you are calling it now!?

[fox hunter]

i swear they crammed me in the back of a wrangler after miles upon miles of dragging their deer up mountains...i was eating my McDonalds and just fell asleep right there french fries still clinched in my fist

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Ah yea i remember that night ,we were all talking then all sudden nothing from the back ,turned around and john was out cold with fries in hand,I believe if we all could of crashed that night we would off,but was a good day for all of us.
