RE: Signs of Illinois Rut
no luck at all today... I hunted the stand in the funnal about 1 to 3:30, and then got down and moved over the the stand tree by the hay bales where i had seen the does last night and hunted 3:45 till dark, and I did not see anything no activity at all, the only thing I saw was a few boone and crockett squirrels and one turcky that was about 100yards away as shooting light ended... I have found a fresh set of land that I got permission to hunt on and I hope that may be having some good rut activity. I think that the bed grounds are beyond the property line and thats where the rut is happening. So I think it is starting but unfortunately its going to be a shotgun rut.
