RE: Southern IL
well i think the secret has been out on pike for awhile now... One of my buddies goes to college down in Houston, and one of his friends down there is always asking him if he can come to illinois to hunt deer. he always asks him about how huge the deer are here, he said that the guy(from houston) makes it sound like the deer in Illinois, and especially pike, are some mythical creatures, like giants and unicorns or something. he gets a kick out of it.
