Nice! How was 7 and 8 ? I'm assuming your hunting public?

 

[JBell]

No. We hunted with a outfitter in Belleville area.

Oh ok. Have you guys been killing every year ? Just trying to gather as much info as possible. It's my first year out west that far. I'm going by myself. Couldn't find anyone to go with. I'm just hunting public

 

[JBell]

No. We usually carried a group of 4-5. We averaged 2 deer a year. Wasn't real happy with the outfitter. Things started to slip. So we bailed on it and went a different route this year. We got a lease is the southern portion of unit 14. There's a ton of deer where we hunted. Could have killed plenty of 120's. But we were hunting bigs

Little tip, if you're in ag country, don't waste your time until crops get harvested.

Ok. Sounds like KY. What would you say is the best time for big bucks on their feet? I was planning on going Oct 29th to maybe Nov 5th

 

[JBell]

That's close. Just like everywhere else, weather and moon will get them rolling. Our hunt was the week leading up to Halloween every year. It was a little to early. One of the reasons we switched as well. We would start seeing some the last 2-3 days. But the next 2 weeks after that got progressively better. I'd say either 29-5 or 5th on. Depending on moon stage and weather

Yeah I always heard kansas is a little earlier. I go to Illinois from the 5th to the 14th

 

[JBell]

We are gonna go early and hang cams and stands. Will be lucky if we hunt. Then we will be shooting for that 5-? Week more than likely. That seemed to be when the big ones usually went daylight
