Late-winter deer season in Illinois seen as chance to boost ‘time spent’ in the woods
More than 16% of Illinois deer hunters spend 25 days or more in the woods each season. But half the state’s hunters (49%) spend only between two and 10 days hunting.

December deer hunting: Unconventional warm weather calls for unconventional tactics
I distinctly remember the weather that day. It was a lackluster December day – slightly overcast, with temps at least five degrees above normal. Sure, there was snow on the ground, but nothing about the conditions gave me butterflies regarding my odds of killing a buck. If anything, I was hoping to see a few does, because I hadn’t seen any large bucks on camera.
