My IL season is done. They break it up into 5-5day seasons. Hunting until 1pm. I've got 5 days in WI on 3 separate private properties and you can hunt all day until dark. Figure out the roost sites and ambush em in the evening if need be!

Mud, thats a bummer that your done.
I still have two weeks to hunt. I have not hunted all week so that I could try and fill both of my tags in one day, sat. Two birds in two states in one day, thats my plan for sat. I'm going for the missouri bird in the morning and and the Iowa bird after that. You can only hunt in mo. till 1:00 pm and Iowa all day so maybe I can pull it off. I think it will be neat to do this.
The birds are really going crazy around here and the mushrooms are popping like crazy, could be a really awesome weekend.
