This year we saw a bunch of deer....But since I only killed 1 doe this year I wouldnt call it very succesful.....But we did see more deer than normal this year...I would say Good but not the best.....But Im leaving this Saturday to hunt a lil bit more before the season is over

Mine is over with for the year. I got a spike buck the first Illinois gun season. Took my son for his first time hunting the 2nd Illinios season and didn't get anything. Only seen 7 deer the whole weekend. Then finished up with a nice fat central Illinois doe the Illinois Muzzleloader season a week ago. So I can't complain the freezer is full.

I did shoot 2 8pts one with a ML and the other with a rifle, but my total deer seen this year has been way down. Havent seen a really good buck all, except on the game cams. 3 day gun hunt coming up after Christmas maybe things will change, but the weather doesnt look promising.

Hunted alot... the most time I have ever spent and I didn't see alot of deer. About 17 during bow season and figure I saw a few of them at least twice, but I did see but could not get a shot off at 2 very good 140-150 size bucks.
Now gun season, I passed on a few small bucks and finally took a small does the last morning.
The good news is my 14yo son got his first deer (4 pt)opening morn at 6:50am. 135 yds, one shot w/ a .243
Then again, the heavy snowfalf destroyed my favorite stand area, an old apple orchard during earlybow season.
