RE: just got back from pike county,il.......
i think most people going on an whitetail hunt anymore are best staying off the beaten path to see quality deer. meaning, stay away from pike county, buffalo county, all the big names. i think those deer probably see a lot of hunting pressure. i'd rather hunt a lesser known county and get a shot on something decent than hunt pike county and not see a nice buck the whole week. i gues something can be said for the fact that it's not like everyone imagines. it's not like there's 150" bucks behind every tree. it's the same as any other county im sure, a fair amount of 110-130's with enough 150+ to keep people satisfied.
