RE: Bowhunting in Illinois???
Georgia Hunter, I hunt in pike co. every year. November 8-12 should be heading into the heat of the rut. The weather could be from one end of the scale to the other.
I have hunted there in mid november in 80 degrees, and in the teens. From what I have learned in 6 years of hunting pike for three weeks at a time, if the temp. doesn`t get above the mid 50`s you should see plenty of action!
Where in pike co. are you hunting? Are you going with an outfitter?
