You won't believe me when I say this...but I live in Illinois and I see one or two a year. Now ask me how many gosh darn mature does I see a year. My area is so over hunted for bucks its not even funny. It's very rare to see a buck over 3 and half years old. [:@]
I feel your pain! I average about 4-6 mature deer a year in a stand. When I say mature I'm referring to 4 1/2+.
