Well here in illinois the second shotgun season is going on now.I actually seen some deer out in the open yesterday on my way home from work.The rut is still going on here because of the numbers of deer here.I actually look forward to the rest of bow season after the shotgun season's are over.I have until Jan 15th to tag out.So next week I will be back in the woods and back after any of the 3 bucks I have been chasing all season long.So far no one has taken any of them.Lucky me I guess.The temps keep falling and I just buy more stuff to keep me warm.Good luck to those of us who are willing to freeze our butts off to stay out in the woods in hopes of getting a shot at those smart old men of the forests and fields.
