Illinois deer Movement

[jermelott]

I am heading to Southern Illinois this weekend and will be hunting all of next week. Is anyone seeing good deer movement right now? Any bucks on the prowl? coming to rattling or grunts?

Honestly, I didn't see the deer that I was a week ago, but then again I didn't get to hunt my better spots due to wind direction. The rut will be in full swing here in the next week so hopefully you get to see some deer. The deer I did see were all bucks and they were cruisin'. Seen lots of scrapes and rubs...Just a matter of time..Good Luck!!

I spotted a decent buck in a soy field tonight and gave him a couple of loud grunts and he came charging in to bad he wasn't a shooter. The rut is close i've seen a few pushing does and lots of rubs and scraps another week and we should be in full swing, good luck!
