archery harvest down in Illinois

[Doe Shooter]

I'm not surprised. It's been very warm so far in October. We are also coming off a herd collapse. I am seeing more trail cam pics so I am confident numbers are on the rise,but all are nocturnal. What are you seeing?

I haven't hunted less any October that I can recall. Activity on trail cams has been depressingly low. Relatively new farm, but far fewer shooters compared to last year. Going to check cards tomorrow, and I'm not really even excited. Not going to hunt tomorrow as it's going to be 80. Sunday maybe.

Doesn't surprise me. I would be harvest numbers are low here in Oklahoma due to hot weather
