Ive had lots of small does and buck fawns coming around. Mabey the does are kicking them out the nest. Hopefully the temps drop some. Right now its too hot to see anything.

I have seen a-lot of deer. Toke a drive last night and tonight. Last night I saw a good size buck making a scrape. And tonight I saw a good size buck chasing 2 small does.

Seeing lots of deer even scrape lines that are being freshen up after it rains . Time to spend as much time in the woods as we can men.

Good luck to all and to all a good buck!

Been seeing some does runing off small fawns.

The bucks should be moveing after this full moon.

I was out hunting yesterday am.. bowhunting the edge of a thicket bedding area..... I watched 6 does browse for food for close to a half hour when a doe came busting out of the thicket 40 yards to my right .... she was postureing like she was being chased a minute latter a small came running out of the thicket after the doe .... followed by a tremendous 10 pointer whom I would gestimate to score at 155 to 160 P&Y he stopped at 45 yards in the open and posed for a 45 yard broadside shot.... . but was to far he was out of my comfort zone for shooting while bowhunting is 30 yards..... he was then followed by a shooter 8 pointer with really high G'2s..... . all stayed in hot pursuit of the doe. I watched them chase her around and then back out of the area........... I tried doe bleating and grunting but none would come in and leave the doe...........The Chaseing is really fired up:D

i saw two doe yesterday and was sure a buck would follow, but it didnt. i waited and waited. they seemed like a princess and her maid...it was cute. there was a real lite one, she was beautiful. almost got a shot off, but i decided to let them get bigger...(isnt that what youre supose to say when you blow a perfect shot?)

RE: Central Il Update
 

had a nice 8 with a big body at 20 yrs, but was hunting land with min of 5 pts on one side rule. nice to see em anyway

RE: Central Il Update
 

Went out sunday evening and had 2 nice bucks on does but couldn't get a clear shot. monday and tuesday I only saw a few does in the morning but nothing else. I wonder if there moving better at midday? Hopefully things will get real hot!
