RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

There is only one way to know, and that is to be planted in a treestand. I think the bucks were starting to lockdown on does over the weekend, so I'm hoping that they may be breaking off them later...

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

During shotgun season, I saw 4 different bucks chasing does. 2 were 1.5 yr olds, one was a really good looking 2.5 yr. old 10 pointer, and then a 3.5 yr. old 8 pointer made the mistake to chase one...

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

It seems like that's what most people are saying. To me there hasn't been an intense portion. Instead it has been long and drawn out. However, I have seen increased movement over the last week.

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

I wouldn't say it's over yet by a long shot.

Check the thread out about the deer I shot this afternoon (It's the sleepless night one), and it will sum up my day in the stand.

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

I too think it is going to be a bust year as far as the rut goes. However, over the last few days I have finally started seeing some bucks consistently that are out cruising or by themselves. I...

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

Had my best day on the stand today. This morning I had a 2.5 yr. old 8 pointer come cruising by at 30 yards. I about shot him, then after I thought about it realized he wasn't what I was looking for....

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

Tried to hunt all day this morning, but it didn't work out to well as I was not properly dressed for the weather.

Got settled in an hour before first light with my decoy set up in a cut soybean...

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

Actually had a mature buck alone this afternoon. I rattled and about a minute later he came in and crossed about 60 yards out. A decent 8 pointer that would of pushed P&Y book.

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

Out of my last 4 sits, I have not seen a single deer. Right now I would settle for a button buck sighting let alone laying my eyes on a shooter buck.

I hunted from noon-dark today and nothing....

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

I've got nothing in my woods. I hunted a stand Sunday afternoon where I always see deer from and I didn't see a thing. The woods just seem dead, and the loggers just moved into my farm today, so it...

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

RE: Signs of Illinois Rut

The weather is making the deer nocturnal. I hunted all day Sunday, just took off an hour for a quick lunch break. The only deer I saw came in while I was waiting for first light. It was a buck but...

Signs of Illinois Rut

Saw some nice bucks on their feet today during daylight. This morning had a nice 10 pointer crossing a field (125-130 class), and then had an ancient old 10 pointer (main frame 8 with 2 kickers off...
