Are you sure? I think it was 50 some odd cases and they were mostly in Cook County. I know they had a bad case of it, but it was 5 years ago or so.

How the hunt go?


Struck out. Headed back now. EHD has just hit the area hard and we only saw one mature buck on the farm we hunted. Big change from last year.
We found several good ones that had been dead about a month.


Dang. I have a buddy at QDMA that usually tells me about stuff like that, but he hasn't.

I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
