RE: late deer season in IL
Fri. morning my partner missed a coyote out of a ground blind at 60 yards and we saw 0 deer.Fri. afternoon, we saw4 deerbut too far away to shoot. This morning, I saw 4 on stand but they were behind too much cover. Also kicked up 2 during a drive but ran the wrong way, or the right way for them! This afternoon, I hunted from my father in-laws stand for the 1st time. I climbed up and before I sat down, I had 6 does feeding 90 yards away. Only 1 was clear to shoot but I was too unsteady to shoot so I passed it up. I think he needs to trim more branches. I saw 3 more deer walking out after hours. My father in-law saw a total of 14 deer but was hunting thick. Well teh deer are out there adn there is always tomorrow. Good luck all.
