this just baffles me-a lack of good racks
i live across the street from a 50 acre bean field, next door to a 200 acre cornfield, and behind me is a 2.5 acre white clover and chickory plot surrounded by timber in the IL river bottoms...now why am i only seeing small bucks and does? i have seen probably 300+ deer this summer, but no bigantlered bucks-where could they be?

in the staging areas till dark comes is my guess.........if its legal, after dark spot light the field to see if any mature bucks came out to feed

well good food is only half the equation, how is the age structure? Is there a lot of hunting pressure? you wont be seeing a lot of big bucks when they all get shot as crotch horns.

As long as they are not having too much pressure put on them, hunting farmland like that in IL they cant help but to get bigger by the time fall rolls around.
