RE: Carrol County Illinois
Welcome back!
As you may know, Carroll Cty has some awesome hunting but it is 100% private so you need some land. I have been lucky the last 2 yrs and took a nice 156 1/2 BC right near Lake Carroll in 2001. My buddy has already seen a 14 pt buck that may score in the low-mid 170's and several nice 130-140 bucks.
I had to cancel my trip this year as my wife is due with our second child right near Thanksgiving. Awesome timing!
Good luck.
