Illinois Late Rut

When will the late rut start in N.IL? I am guessing the week of Christmas. Any opinions?

28 days after the 1st rut...

I wouldn't count on too much of it... depending on your area maybe some action.

dec 7-15th would have been my estimate...

Wasn't much going on during the 2nd firearm season up here in N. IL. Only saw 1 deer during shooting hours. They were moving right before and after sunrise/sunset.
