Sunday and Monday were does and button bucks for me. Troy had a 10 pt buck standing underneath the first tree he was in on Monday morning but by that time he was 110 yards away :( . That pretty much ended our Pike county hunt. I would have to say that Darren didn't sell this hunt hard enough and that Troy and I got a bargain, when other people were hunting smaller properties and paying three times as much.
I don't know if the state of IL is shooting theirselves in the foot charging what they do for tags but if people pay it I guess they can get away with it. If I had the chance to go back in the future on another St. Judes hunt I would and if you are looking for a affordable trophy hunt this would be it.
Here are a couple more pictures of does and a racoon that entertained me in the Barn Hollow.
