Just wondering how everyones Illinois second season went.

My dad and his buddy took two 10 pointers, an 11 pointer, and a doe in Richland county.

2nd season was bad for me and probably most guys up north. The weather was terrible and I came home empty handed. Very few guys I spoke with had good luck.

I took a nice doe for the freezeron saturday before the weather turned bad in McHenry County.

I was only able to hunt the weekend of the second season.Saturday I saw a nice buck with my binoculars on the farm I was hunting.A doe came close but winded me.Not much moved before that storm.Sunday,nothing moved untill about 9:30.Then deer were everywhere.I saw around 10 deer in a half hour period including the buck.The buck wouldn't come my way but 4 does did.More rain was coming so I took a doe.It was a good hunt.I got to the meatlocker in a downpour.I'm glad I shot when I did(about 10:30) instead of waiting and hoping for the buck.He was a nice one but I have a freezer full and beat the rain.Couple of beers and a football game too. (DeKalb County)

Took this doe at about 80 yards with my muzzleloader Thursday morning with my second season permit. Shot a button buck the first firearem season. Both in Pope County.

I shot this nice 8pt. on thursday evening as he came out following a doe fawn to eat in my rye food plot.



Shot him from the same stand as my bow buck this year!!
