I live in Illinois as well and haven't seen much at all. Except on my cams that is. Still not much rutting with the pics on the cameras either. In person, every doe I have seen has had her fawn/s with her. Don't they usually split up in the rut? Also, on the camera last Friday I got a picture of two 115-125 class bucks together. So Im not too sure around here, but where in Illinois are you guys from, I am from East-Central Illinois here. Near Bloomington/Normal.
