Default Rut over in IL??

Are you guys still seeing bucks chasing does or is the rut over? This year has really been crappy for me and my spot in Calhoun County has not produced the big bucks like I saw last year. Since I'm not seeing any bucks, I can't tell if the rut is over or not.

Thanks for the help,
Darren

The bucks seem to be grouping up together. Last sunday, all I seen was bucks (2-4 points 1-10 point, and a nice 12-point that is in my freezer right now). A 40 yard bow shot. Archery is allowed during gun season where I hunt (no gun hunting allowed).
