Activity in central illinois
Its hot during the day and bright at night. Is anyone seeing much activity? What about the pre rut stuff? I have found several scrape and rub lines, but haven't been able to find the makers yet

It is too hot for them to be moving before day light.I am seeing more action in the mornings then I am any other time.They are out at the coolest part of the night.I havent been getting the results on calling as I usually do so the Pre Rut hasnt cstarted just yet.I think we have about 2 more weeks until it starts.

We got our wish, its suppost to be a tad colder for the next couple of weeks. Pre Rut should kick in real soon, maybe middle of next week, they are talking about highs in the high 40's and low 50's, and lows at night around the high 20's to low 30's.
