RE: Signs of Illinois Rut
I am very happy my class was concled for tomarrow, So Im going to try and hunt all day! I heard something about snow my all we got in the forcast is plain old rain. The Rut better get here, because i am not crazy about it being a shotgun rut.

I still am not sure if the deer just plan have left my hunting spot, or are still noctureral?!!! I think they are hanging up in the rail road tracks, Should the rut bring them back?
the weather looks like showers and possible snow...

You may be overhunting your spot. Tuesday I saw 4 bucks chasing a doe at 8:20 AM and Sunday I had a 150 class buck chase a doe to 15 yds from my stand. I trimmed his belly hair. Now I'm off to read the "moment of truth" sticky for the 152nd time.

Actually had a mature buck alone this afternoon. I rattled and about a minute later he came in and crossed about 60 yards out. A decent 8 pointer that would of pushed P&Y book.
