RE: Question for Midwest folks.
I also live in IL and hunt in Clark county, this last weekend I went Thurs-Sun morning. Thurs. morning I seen 34 does and not a single buck. Seen 2 very small bucks Friday. And Saturday morning seen those 2 small bucks chaseing 2 does. Seen a big body deer come into the corn field for about 30 sec. then went back into the woods about 200 yards away. By Sunday the weather was warming and seen like 3-4 does was all. I think if they are rutting hard, it's mostly at night. But the weekend of gun season 17-19 is calling for highs in the mid 40's with lows in the low 30's....could be interesting for the gun hunters.
