Late bow hunt
I have't filled my archery only no-res. tag for ill. Any body have a good late hunt story or words of incouragment for a Pa. hunter. I have spent 12 days there; but lady luck kissed the large bucks not me. You know the wind;a branch,people,bad angle. I did see alot of big bucks more then any other hunt I've been on. what are my odds and any dates you might rec.? thanks for your time.

RE: Late bow hunt
All I can say is it has to be very cold. I hunt late season in Iowa. If its cold and nasty the bucks hit the picked corn fields. If its only getting into the low 30's at night you'll have a tough time.Crazy cold is the ticket!

They seem to move better when its real cold in the late season. They have to eat more to keep warm! Good luck, I'll be out in late season as well. I didn't fill my Archery tag either as I was in Africa the first 2 weeks of November!
