Default RE: rut started in illinois

I sat from 6a-5:15p yesterday(thurs.) and saw 23 deer...2 bucks following a doe(one was chasing) and the rest just cruising...No big shooters...Most of the movement was from 630a-1030a....Saw 7 deer from 1030-515p....I'm guessing it got to warm in the mid day cause the morning was in the low 30's and they were moving....

A buddy hunting 3mi. away said he only saw 2 in the pm and it was a buck mounting a doe.....Said the buck would just get started and the doe would run out from under him...The buck was grunting and stomping around cause she wouldn't stand still.....Guess she's not quite ready yet but close....
