Slow rut so far.....
At least for me. Sat for 12 hours yesterday and today, only seen this spike at 3:30 yesterday. I guess the near 70 deg. temps is keeping most of the movement nocturnal. The other hunters on the property aren't seeing any movement either. What's anybody else in No. Illinois seeing?

I am seeing what you are seeing which isnt much I am betting the action will pick up on Monday evening and Tuesday when the temps begin to drop and we have a good overcast I have been doing a little driving and the bucks appear to be most active at dark it has alot to do with this heat theres no doubts about that.

Not seeing much in central Illinois myself. All wekend I didnt see anything until this evening and that was only a basket rack 6 and a spike. However a buddy did see 2 big boys cutting across a bean field this evening.
Hoping it gets better this week.

Movement is slow in our missouri and Illinois camps due to the higher temps. We were seeing plenty of chasing over the past couple weeks. A buck taken by one of the clients yesterday, showed signs of rut. It might pick up some monday with the front coming in. Temps will still be in the mid 60's though. Tuesday on, looks to be a little better with temps in the 50's and lows in the mid 30's.
