I haven't had any luck in northern Illinois,but Monday hunted down state and shot two deer,I only had one day to hunt so I hung my stand Sunday night for a Monday hunt and connected finally after hunting 9 times up north.If they have removed the corn near you I think you'll be seeing deer for sure.Up north where I hunt the corn is still in the fields so I haven't had luck where I hunt,down south the corn has been picked.Good luck whereabouts are you hunting?
