Here's are some pics from the Land of Lincoln. I mentioned in my last update I hit Illinois, but didn't tell you about specifically. As I get closer back to Texas, the woods look more familiar. However, they are still different. Enjoy these pictures, and read about it here: http://wp.me/s3bCKM-illinois

Where I hunted:

There were some giant burr oak trees.

You can shoot the top of a squirrels head off.

Beautiful river bottom. I saw lots of deer sign as well.

So if you are looking to hunt in the St. Louis area, this wouldn't be a bad option. Any of you guys been hunting in Southwestern Illinois?

And are there squirrels in Texas? What do they do, climb a cactus?

Very cool project. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of different backdrops.

Hawaii could be tough. I'm thinking of slipping a squirrel in my undies, could make for an interesting TSA pat down...

Interesting goal. While I think it'd be fun, I'd be more inclined to try to get the squirrel slam... wink Like this guy.

Have to respect the slam. I'm fairly certain I'll be close if I get all the states. I'm really intrigued by getting the various color phases as well...
