   I found about 75 today. Mix of greys & yellows. I hunted Calhoun   
   County & Madison County, Illinois. I found roughly half & half in each   
   county. They were mostly 3/4 the way up fairly steep hillsides.   
   Madison County took half the time to find those because I knew where   
   they were "hiding" by the end of the day. I think it is still early in   
   the higher ground. One bad thing... tons of ticks out this year.   
      
   I heard from a fellow hunter that he found 10 lbs. of yellows down in   
   the lowlands along the Illinois river in Calhoun County. He said alot   
   of them were partially under water because the river was on the rise!   
   It is supposed to crest on Monday.   
      
   Happy hunting!
