All of you guys said 2nd week of Nov. Well it looks like were going to drive up Friday Night the 8th and hunt till Tuesday morning the 12th. Thats the best I can swing to fill the Buck tag I brought home to Bama. I want some cold but not too cold. With the short stay we are gonna camp out this trip. I am taking the boat back and hoping the water levels have not dropped too much. I had to push pole in a few spots last trip. Anyone got any word about the hunting up there lately?
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

Too late for IL bow hunting IMHO. It is fun to watch the rutting activity, but often might as well be toting a damn slingshot. We eventually gave up on hunting in that window and started actually killing cruising bucks before the rut started on scrapes and or grunting/snort wheezing em to the tree. The last couple days of October and the first couple days of November as where its at with archery gear in IL.

Was awesome to see all those big bucks till you realize you are helpless to get one to stop under your tree. The guys that he knows did well last year did so after the rut/gun hunt. We debated on Thanksgiving week but its all a gamble. I need to be home hunting thanksgiving. Nov 16-26 is prime where I hunt in Bankhead.

Juggy I think he’s hunting South Illinois, and it’s about a week behind where you have hunted 4 hours further North. His dates should be good for a chance to kill with them chasing a week after that.
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!
