August 11 2009 Lake County Illinois 7:49pm. Wind NNE 6mph. 70 degrees. Partly Cloudy, Chance of Thunder Storm 10% Barometer 30.01 Steady,Running Down Big Whitetail Bucks on Foot. So I'm up in Kenosha Wisconsin talking to the landowner of a newly acquired hunting spot and my buddy Brian Smith of http://www.Smith-Printing.Com calls and informs me that he is watching 5 Whitetail Bucks, 3 of which are Big, out in the alfalfa field at his Big buck hotspot at 7:22pm. I arrive where Brian is waiting at 7:46pm and he directs me to where he last seen the group of bucks. I run a quarter mile through the Oaks to the edge of a field of Oats where I think the Bucks will be. Glassing the field, I am unable to see the deer at that time because of the hilly terrain. I Slowly proceed through the Oats towards the alfalfa where I believe the bucks will be. At the same instant I spot the 3 Big Bucks they spot me. As all the bucks bolt for the cover of the Oaks I decide right than the chase has just began. Wanting to test the results of my intense conditioning regiment that I have implemented over the summer just for pursuing Big Whitetail Bucks on foot, I broke out in a dead run after them. As I ran through the Oats, down through the Corn & to the corner of the Oaks, I picked up there trail at full speed. After hurdling a barb wire fence an unbelievable surge of adrenalin pumped through me, enough to launch me over a creek bottom and now back within sight of the group of bucks. By now I had ran well over a mile and a half and was hot on the trail of the bucks. As they ran up a steep hill, I could see them tiring and when they had to stop at the summit, gasping for air, all my beliefs were confirmed...I am thee Hawg in the Game!....Captured ONLY on www.HawgNSonsTV.Com
