ILLINOIS -- Even though it's been the worst year for blue tongue disease, the state's youngest hunters are having their best deer season ever. During opening weekend, youth hunters tagged more than 3,000 dear, setting a new record.

That's more than double an average year. Experts say cooler weather played a big factor.
