Default RE: Rut action in Illinois

Coming home from work today (McHenry County) at around 1 o'clock I saw a nice little 8 pointer tending a doe 40 yards off the road in a picked bean field. I pulled over and watched them for about 10 to 15 minutes. It was funny he knew he shouldn't be standing so exposed out there, so he kept running away and then would turn around and come right back because she wouldn't move. After about 10 minutes he did mount her. I finally left then another 5 minutes down the road I had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a large buck chasing a doe. They darted out of the woods then across the road. I was so excited, I flew home grabbed my gear and went to the tree stand. Ended up seeing nothing except for a million squirrels. Then on the drive home I see another buck and doe standing together on the side of the road. Talk about frustrating.
