Anyone having any luck late season bowhunting??
I havne't been hunting for a couple of weeks now. I was wondering if anyone has been doing any good? Are the deer moving? Have they herded up? Or are they still rutting a little bit?

I shot a doe in Kankakee County this morning. They were moving just like early season. Seen 8 or 9 (didn't get a good count on the first group) in about an hour's time. Been seeing lots of movement over the last couple weeks. Had 6 right under me yesturday morning, maybe around 8:30. Just traveling from bedding to feeding.

I hunted last year right up until the season was out. I've never done that before. I saw lots of deer and turkey. I think the rabbit and bird hunters had them on the move.

I went out tonight and i seen 5. 3 fawns, 1 doe, and a 1 antlered buck. Passed all up but i woulda shot the buck if i had the chance. it was just a bit out of range and i never felt confident with the shot.
