RE: rut started in illinois
I haven't been seeing SH!T for the past two weeks! Last year at this time the deer were in a full out chasing which would have been last weekend (on last years time) and this weekend they (as of last year) they were paired up with does and some of the stragglers where chasing like hell to find a doe. This year, I haven't seen much movement at all....and I'm hunting some spots that are usually like shooting fish in a barrel when it comes to the rut period. I'm so frustrated/disgusted right now! My buddies here in Jeff. Co. say they've been chasing but I hunt in Wash. Co. and where I'm hunting....nothing has been going on. I'm sleeping in tomorrow and I'm not going out until about 10....maybe then I can try and hone in on some deer activity and what not. Hopefully my season will take a turn for the better soon, b/c this is the worst bow season I've EVER had....even worse than my first ever bow season!
