RE: Pike County Illinois?
Rodhouse Rut-n-Strutt.
I made my first out-of-state deer hunting trip there last year in November.
Great lodge, great food, great guys and I saw LOTS of deer despite the horrid weather.
They're minimum shooter is 130". I had one shot at a "maybe" 130 but it was low light and I couldn't be sure. I'm not too good at judging antler size on the hoof yet (or anywhere for that matter[&:]) Lot's of other prolly 120 class bucks. This again was despite some horridly warm weather and a some stormy weather on the first night. Many shooters sighted by just about everyone, not too many taken though.
My guide was great, and most of them are pretty good to great with a few young guys that need a little schooling I think.
