What's been seen in Illinois?
I've been out 4 times this season so far, in different areas that I KNOW hold deer and I have seen exactly 2. What's going on? Is anyone else having problems getting on them or is it just me? Last year by this time I saw 5 bucks all within bow-range and this year I haven't seen one yet.
I've been hunting mornings and evenings. Yesterday I saw a group of does in an area they weren't supposed to be in at a time when they weren't supposed to be moving. I was going from one spot to another around 11:30. They weren't near any bedding areas that I know of, but I'm not real familiar with that particular area either, so I'm not sure.
I'm hunting public land, BTW and I was the only person in the woods for the morning-hunt.
