Mark and Dave headed up to hunt with  Doug Benefield and Illinois Connection for the opening weekend of the Illinois bow season. It did not take long to see how a person could get spoiled hunting at a place like this. The lodge was beautiful and the cook awesome, but that wasn't what the most impressive part. The most impressive part were the giant mounted whitetails on the wall! Needless to say, we were ready to climb into a stand. On the second evening of the hunt we had this great 4 year old ten point walk out and commence to wear our patients to a frazzle. He hovered at the edge of my comfortable shooting distance for 20 minutes. Finally giving me a good shot, I took it, and,as they say the rest is history. We had a great hunt and plan on going back sooner than later!
