Im in northern Illinois and I'm having some problems. I haven't seen any type of action as of rut. I currently have two spots to hunt and both have them been dead. What should I do? Here are some pics of the deer that are moving around 1 am. The one looking to the right is at my house, I have multiple pics of him around 7 pm to 3 am. The other two are at my other location. I know at the second location, there are two 8 pointers over 160 but I haven't seen them in over two weeks. I need some help PLEASE
patience. i hunt near marion, wi(45min west of The Green Bay) and have seen lots of rutting since 3rd week of october, but only in the last 4 days have i seen does in heat. any day now those big guys should be moving all day by you.
I have had alot of luck lately on the edge or in bedding areas( usually thicker the better) since the start of rut ,Just find a pinch point where the deer have to go from on area to another and you might have some luck.
