I have a friend who has 313 acres in Pike County IL., he has gone deerless in the past 4 seasons. He has seen several decent bucks but no shotters....I hunt southern Indiana (private ground - won't be revielved) and I shot a 148" 10 pointer last year. Saw 3 BIGGER deer and have seen 3 NICE ones earlier bow season this year. Also picked up my Merriam Tureky from taxidermist lastweek he had 12 deer so far 5 of which were of 150 and he had a 179 (green) non-typical. Also heard that a 260+ non-typical was taken in Rockville, IN this year.

So it is all relvant....if I hunted around Crown Point, I'd be crappy to about the deer here, you just need to places and the money to buy them!

GOOD LUCK, the RUT should be starting next!
