Wow...way to go guys. Those are some great deer. Sorry to say I dont have anything to add just yet. After 8 days of 9.5 hours a day in the stand in IL, I got nothing. Temps were around 70-75 much of the time and absolutely killed every bit of the rut that was started. I'm pretty much out of the picture until after thanksgiving, but hopefully next week things will get back to normal. We normally see 15-25 deer at a time per greenfield, I saw 18 deer all week. I had a 120ish 8 pt come in to 36 yards and let him walk and I dont regret it. He just isn't what we're looking to shoot. I did squeek out a doe for the freezer. All in all, it was a pretty sorry week of hunting, but it sure beats work. I know the deer are there, just needs to cool down some to get 'em moving. Seems like they're almost totally nocturnal.
I still have a month and a half left, so I'm not too worried.
Ya'll have a happy Thanksgiving.
