RE: IL harvest numbers down statewide
I hunted a new area this year so I can't compare the amount of shots. I did see more deer than I had ever seen before, but I was also hunting a LOW pressure area. I probably saw 30+ does and 7 different bucks over 6 pointers. With how good the weather was for hunting and how the rut seemed to be on full swing, I can't see how these numbers aren't higher. Ive heard from a lot of people though that they weren't seeing the deer they were last year.
