We were lucky enough down here that we didn't get too hard with EHD the last couple of years like other parts of the state. I'm also fortunate enough to hunt a place where nobody wants to shoot a little buck. I really hope we become a one buck state in two years like I've heard rumors of.
I've been trying to kill him for a long time. I don't know that it will ever happen, but I won't stop trying.
Had the same thing here in w central IL this weekend after pulling cards. No daylight pics but I saw a decent 8 pointer out cruising last night while hunting about 30-45 mins before dark.
