RE: Much Action In Illinois Yet?
I went out again tonight to the same stand above the funnel and bedding area. I sat for about an hour and heard deer coming running on the left side of the bedding area, well sure enough it was a doe with a fawn with a buck chasing them and the werent trotting along they were flat out running. I had a 8pt come walking up the funnel at about 5:00pm and if I had a buck tag I could of taken him at 23 yards. I did lay down some esterous scent but I got no reaction out of the buck with it, he just kept on walking up the draw. I originally was going for turkeys in the cut cornfield but after a 15min walk from the parking spot I looked back to see 24 turkeys in the top cut corn field, right across from where I had parked! <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>So I gave up the turkey hunt and opted for a doe hunt.The only doe that came into range was a small yearling that wasnt what I was looking for. I cant wait till next week, the hubby starts 2 weeks of vaction and I cant wait to get him in some of these stands, so he can harvest a good buck ,that I can only watch.
