ORIGINAL: 116Buck
I'm in Jasper county. It's located just west of Terra Haute, along I-70 then south of Casey, Il. This was the 2nd year I hunted this particular farm, finally putting the pieces together. Only problem I got is the farmers fields are all in picked soybeans, the property just to the north picked corn. The 2nd week of Nov., majority of the deer were in the picked corn along side a crp field for bedding. Supposed to be cold hopefully they are up and moving.
Funny....... I am in Coles Co., near a tiny town called Hutton, just NE of Casey. You must not be too far from Martinsville then either?? We are leasing ground through The Quail Shed, an outfitting operation in the area, but would like to find some different ground next year, if you happen to know of any in the area?? My brother and I hunted for a week with four other guys from MS and LA and there was never a shooter (130"+) buck even seen that entire time, and this was Nov. 7-14th!! We also hunted down there forthree daysjust beforeHalloween with the same results. This is a bow hunting only deal for us and we are not sure if we will be heading back down or not??
The coyotes are thick down in that area too! We would hear them every morning and evening carrying-on......
