I'm pulling out of PA sometime Thursday/Friday making my way to NW IL a day or two earlier. If your on my path and want to shake my hand, let's see what we can put together.
My route looks like I80 to I90 to I39 to US20. Anyone live off or near these routes and want to chat, have lunch or whatever, let me know.
Hey Rob be sure and put some fresh RainX on your windshield...you'll prob. be hitting rain those days here in IL. Good Luck, I am South of your route or I would.

Forget NW Illinois, you need to head South man, South! Just kidding of course, you should have a great hunt and you will be there for the perfect time. Call me if you feel like seeing the best part of the state. I hope you have a good time and GREAT hunt.
A group of 8 of us are leaving Western PA on Thurs morning. Will be traveling I70 most of the way toward Springfield and staying overnight there. Finishing the hour and a half drive to Pike Co. Friday morning. Take a tree umbrella as I see some rain in the 10 day. Good luck with your hunt, I hope we can all share success stories when we return. I read on here before (I believe jmbuckhuntr) that there are P&Y around every tree in Illinois.
