RE: Signs of Illinois Rut
I haven't seen any good bucks in my area but the rub looks like its gotten bigger and theres a fresh small rub. Im hunting outside of La Rose Illinois, over by Lacon... wheres everybody else located... I have been out three times sense I got my first deer and now I havent seen anything at all... as I was hiking out tonight i think i saw a flash of white running away in the woods when I went past another stand spot of mine. But They are not moving very well at all where i am hunting. Scent lures arent even bringing them in. Mother natures having a hottflash and its throwing things off I guess. I do not know... I know there is at least One Good buck and perhaps a forkhorn in the area and a whole lot of does around... But I have not seen any real rut activity at all.
