Same here not much was happening through gun season but did start to see some chasing on saturday evening. I think the rut is a little late this year and all the corn still in the fields didnt help much

It was really slow in Jefferson Co until the weekend before gun season. I hunted the 14th thru the 17th and had some of the hottest rut action in my life. I hunted Crawford Co during the first gun season and see decent rut action there.

They were chasin in Saline County. Every buck I saw was searching or was on the tail of the doe. Opening morning was crazy, after that it gradually slowed down.

Not seeing much of a rut in Kankakee. It's been slow and hard hunting for me.

I saw minimal activity in Kane County prior to heading to Brown. I was in Brown the 5th-10th and the Bucks were making rub lines while we were there and a few scrapes but never had any full blown chases going on. Since being back in Kane I had two days, the 11th and 13th that I saw some small bucks running does, other than that it has been real minimal.
