RE: Best week to hunt illinois
I strongly agree with JP and Titleist. Yesterday was about 70 degrees so that doesn't help get rut going. Although I saw plenty of deer from stand yesterday PM. Might try & take the fatter one today or tomorrow. I wish (just once to see how it turns out) they would put shotgun season in the rut. It might really help control herd numbers. I know last year they were still chasing a bit on shotgun opener.
Anyone shotgunning Johnson county?

I always wanted them to put shotgun season about two weeks later, then instead of 2 seperate seasons, just have one long one.
anyway
with the weather forcast and all. I'm thinking they will chase hard the 2nd or 3rd week dusring a good cold snap.

This is my first year hunting in Il. So all I can say is where the heck is the colder weather. Also what is taking them farmers so long to harvest the corn...As long as the corn is up and the weather is like it has been them deer just don't want to be moving around. Hopfully this coming weekend it will cool down and then the action might heat up...I hope...good luck to all...
