I'm in N.E. Iowa & Lots of Crops up due to WET weather.
I don't care how much is standing-from what we are seeing-a week to 10 days should be the best for us. Bucks we have seen the last few days have been coming out right at dark & alone. B/4 then, no Bucks sighted in 8 trips out..I'm guessing any time the 1st 2-3 weeks of Nov. should be great.

Crops are still in where Im at in west central Illinois but the buck activity is heating up nicely. I counted 11 scrapes and one big rub around one of my food plots last saturday. My dad killed a big 18pt saturday night. He saw 9 different bucks that night and there was 15+ scrapes around that food plot.
