Hunting Tips: Lessons Learned From a December Deer Hunt

This past December I found myself with a lot of time to think. I was on a three-day late-season muzzleloader hunt for whitetails in western Illinois, and it was a tough hunt. I was very optimistic about this hunt, as I had taken a nice buck in southeastern Illinois the year before with a different outfitter, and I knew that this outfitter too has produced a lot of big bucks over the years in an area known for its trophy potential.
