It is going to be a good fall!
My oldest boy said fairly slow.
A few young bucks, 2.5, one good busted up 8, he's still out there. Too warm

Had a high school friend and his boy out from Des Moines yesterday. Gave them each a 10 acre timber and decent stand. Dad struck out but the boy scored his first buck ever. Congrats Brendon! He looks all serious but believe me, he is straining every facial muscle available to keep from grinning ear to ear. Pretty fun stuff to see.

Gun hunters out there first season!!! Let’s hear some results!!!
Ohhhhh. I thought this thread was going to be about a new fake nonresident tag quota for Illinois, sponsored by some more corrupt crossgun special interest group paid off politicians.

Same here. Think the warm weather had a few of the neighbors decide for wait for second season. My boy actually fell asleep for an hour in the afternoon.

It is amazing that rutting activity happens in one part of the state, but zero in another, especially with warm weather.

I went to move some stands around yesterday for late archery, so I know this happened sometime between Fri evening and Sunday noon.
Based on my non expert opinion, I'd say that testosterone levels are still elevated but hot does are getting MUCH harder to find..I'm sensing a little frustration on that tree.

A rookie in the group filled a tag on a well known buck that was lovesick and it cost him Saturday morning (145"ish 10pt).
A legend we chased and had pictures (100s all nocturnal hard horned) of for at least 4 years fell this afternoon. R.I.P. old boy.
Oh and I managed to help out my team a little this morning.

SW Iowa, 15 guns in the group, 20 deer for the weekend with 5 of those being nice bucks. Lots of walking/sweating.

Saw more hunters today between my house and Mt. Vernon (5 miles) than I did on Saturday between here and Boone. I usually hear plenty of shots but none so far. That could change for second season though.
