Illinois Boys?!?

Im hunting with a friend all week and see the weather report. Screen shot attached below. Will this warm weather screw us up here in Illinois? First time here near Colchester IL. I know my deer don’t really get moving unless it’s under 60 or so this time of year.

It's going to be warm until Saturday and 45 Friday night should break them loose and will probably start some major chasing activity. I live about 25 miles from Colchester. With the rut coming on they will be out moving all week anyway. You should be good if you can stand a few showers.

Cool mornings should be great. Don't get off stand before 10 if hunting half the day.

I don't see it getting that warm with the cloud cover we're going to have.

Thank you guys. Just got tags at game masters in Quincy. I will literally sit all day long.

I saw 2 good bucks this weekend and they both were checking does. It'll only get more rusty as the week progresses. Warm weather won't help but anything can happen at anytime. Be ready, hunt hard if it's the only time you have.

Saw seven deer total already between 0600-0730. One two year old six pointer but he needs to grow, so now it’s crow and squirrel o’clock.

I usually see more deer between 7:30 and 9 than before. Keep at it.

I’m planning on every morning then every evening.

Just moved a couple of days of vacay due to the temps and rain latter this week. Dang near 90 here today. If I see the weatherman I gotta mind to kick him square in the ball, no way he has a pair.

So far I’ve seen one eight and one ten point that are shooters. Hopefully this weather shift around lunch will bring them out today and tomorrow morning.

Saw this guy at sixty yards semi chasing a doe that walked right under me. He didn't want to commit and walked off. And now I fly back to the heatwave that screwed me this week here in Illinois. Tag sammy with spicy mustard.

Sorry you had a bad week here but it's hunting. There's still more season!
