Good evening in central IL
Well, with my new job I am fortunate enough to be able to hunt the last 1.5 hrs of day light on work days. At least until the time changes. Had a good night last night. I had this doe and fawn come in at 5:40 and hung out around my stand for 40 minutes or so. The fawn still had spots and was pretty small. Kind of suprising.
Things started picking up after that. I had a little 6 come into a grass field about 45 yards just south of me. He DID have his nose down and followed the exact path of the I had just seen. about 20 minutes later I had 2 nice does come into that grass field as well. Then about 15 minutes before dark I had a nice 10 come into the same field. He was probably a low 130's buck. I passed on a 45 yard shot with day light fading. Just wasnt a good shot. I did grunt at him and he postured up and got all pissed. I just think its a little too early though because after posturing for a minute he turned and walked away.
I may be sitting on a bucket in a tree line in that grass field tonight. Ambush style
.
Good luck this weekend guys! This cold snap has woke them up.
