RE: Decatur, Illinois?
Yes, and no. There are big deer here. But not as good as it is on the west side of the state. The Shelbyville deer see quite a bit of pressure since there is so little public land in the area, so you have to hunt differently than everyone else. Pay close attention to the wind and be very well concealed, these deer know.... "that stinky creature in that tree wants to kill me"
