RE: Western Illinios Carroll County
My son and I hunt carroll county the savanna area. Friday heard very few shots. But my son got a buck and saw 12 other deer that day 9 where does. Saturday alot more shots heard I got a buck that day. We saw only three does. Sunday we only hunted till 9:00 am and I saw another buck no does. I talked to a group of 15 that hunt Jo Davies and they got 2 does but 5 bucks. Owner of the hotel said that guys were reporting seeing alot of bucks but not many does. Whats up with that. I bow hunt out there and and normallyI only see does but this year it has been just the opposite. I know that the rut was still on maybe this had something to do with it.
On a side note. the man that was shot and killed along with his dog was just plain bad to hear.
