beagleboy Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 We are planning a gun hunt at Lamont Outdoors which is located in Crossville, either White or Wabash county in mid November. Wondering if anyone has every heard of the outfitter and when the rut hits in Illinois. Any info would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Re: Lamont Outdoors in Illinois Don't have any info on your outfitter but in my experience the closer you get to the first shotgun season (FRI-SUN before thanksiving) the hotter things get. Last week in Oct and the month of Nov are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ILclimber Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Re: Lamont Outdoors in Illinois hey beagle boy, No, I have never heard of that Outfitter, but sometimes they can be the best! I seem to think that the rut usually hits the second week of November usually, weather permitting! I usually start seeing some more activity as soon as November hits but it usually kicks off about the second to third week of November. Good luck next year! I hunt in Southern IL, a little 2 county area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIGHTPOINT Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: Lamont Outdoors in Illinois A better question which I am surprised has not been posetd yet is , How are Illinios outfitters handling the CWD issue. For example, in Penna. We are not legally allowed to bring the whole deer back due to contamination issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OldBuckhunter Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: Lamont Outdoors in Illinois eightpoint No probl;em with CWD here. I believe about 1 or 2 years ago there was one in NW IL. that cross the wis. line. We don't even take them in to a checkpoint anymore. Just call or e-mail. Also I believe the rut starts about middle of Nov., maybe the 1st. even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: Lamont Outdoors in Illinois The DNR still takes specimens from some counties in the extreme northern part of the state where CWD has already been found eventhough we no longer have the check stations. There were a few more cases of CWD found this year up there. I believe all cases have been confined to 3-5 counties. Here's the outfitter's website that I'm sure you've checked out already. http://www.lamontoutdoors.com/ The Campbell Outdoors Challenge that is shown on The Men's Channel is based out of nearby Carmi.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, the CWD is all up here in the north; Winnebago, Northern Delkalb, Ogle, and I think Boone counties too. There have been no cases found farther south yet. Usually I see the rut hitting about the 2 -3rd week in November. I think you have set your trip at a great time. You should have a blast!! have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
