Earl, we had to call in the game wardens due to so many gun shots across the creek bed and our side of the creek got plum scared some poacher
was gonna take the one we wanted you to have. Sorry we couldn't wait til you got here to do your thing. The gun shots have been quieted hopefully
till gun season starts. Talked with the property owners across the creek and ain't nobody got permission to hunt anything since it's all in the city limits.
We still got a couple of 180 class bucks to keep our attention and hope we can save 'em from getting poached. I want you to know I thought about you
the evening this one was taken. We could have used one more expert tracker to help us find him to save the meat. Good luck to you in Illinois. Lots cooler
up that way even now. Thanks for the shout out too.
