Most Corn is out here in Macoupin/Jersey Counties (but not all) and the Bucks seem to be back in "cruise mode" looking for the last few receptive Does. I have seen Bucks the last 2 times I hunted the stand I will be in Friday morning and all seemed to be cruising. Good luck to all gun hunters in Illinois tomorrow morning!

I will be out hunting Morgan county.
Half the corn is out on the place we will be at.
Dint see much this week during the heavy rain we had.
Im hoping for the best in the morning as the part we are going to has been pretyy much unpressured all year.
Good luck guys and be safe.

i was out in Washington county and seen 14 this morning and 4 this evening and heard about 100 shots this morning it seemed like and maybe 10 this evening. Got real warm mid-day and i finally had to get down around 11 cause i had shed as much as possible and had to go get my lighter gear on. It was almost as if the deer didnt move this evening until right at almost dark.

I got this doe on public land in Tazewell county on opening morning. 
I counted 140 shots by 11:30am. When I left the hunting area there were 10-11 deer brought in. Actually a very high number. Surprising because it's surrounded by standing corn... there's even standing corn in the hunting area.
