RE: Signs of Illinois Rut
Well boys it was a wonderful wet chilly miserable morning, with almost no wind, and I didnt see S h i t , the scrape is full of tracks and the muddy path was full of tracks the size of a cell phone.
I heard bad news in Caseys when i was guying smokes and coffee that another hunter saw a pair already locked up and he said he thinks that this years rut has already happened when it was hot and they did it at night. I hope this is not the case, I have been told that I might be over hunting my spot, So should I just quit that spot until after shotgun season or try hunting the stand tree by the scrape insted of hunting the funnal.
