The Illinois firearm deer season opens next Friday. From what I can tell, that's after the rut in our area (west-central Illinois). As a first-time hunter, I was hoping some experienced folks could share some thoughts on how to best go about getting a deer during the three days of that season.
Just to be clear, I'm not after a trophy. I want venison and will happily shoot a doe or young buck - probably the first one I can get a good shot at. I'll be hunting from the ground on property that does have a high deer population.
Thanks for any ideas,
Matthew
