Back from Illinois. According to the locals there, the rut just hasn't taken off yet and are expecting big things for the second gun season that starts 11/29 because of the full moon and temps finally due to plunge. I'll be there!

By the way, I passed on a 135 in. 8 pt. in the opening MINUTES of gun season last Fri. a.m. and only saw one other shooter next 2 days, but did take a large doe (100 yd. neck shot--straight to the ground) with my .460, with a little help from a Hornady 200 SST!
