Having hunted the Illinois,Wisconsin,Ohio,Texas Missouri over the last several years I will agree with what everyone else has said. Deer do what that naturally do in the mid west. Like squeaky said the late season to me is probably better than the rut to me. When I come back to slabs I just have to mentally adjust myself to where I'm at and be realistic this is Ala friggin bama. State of kill all does and every buck you see for 5 months. Maybe people will get it one day
