I just got back from my Annual Southern IL hunt. Did not see as many bucks this year as in the past. The first two days we got 4" of rain!!!!!! It was ugly. I did manage to pop a doe on the third day. As the weather cooled down, the deer came out more. Saw plenty of bucks.


I would stick to food sources!!!!! S. IL there are LOTS of acorns still around. Best bet would be to hit corn fields or been fields so long as they have not been plowed under. Look for food, and find the deer.
