HC4, I'm from NY and I hunted the Shawnee near Murphysboro in Jackson County 2yrs ago. Beautiful area with lots of deer and several big bucks. We saw a few wallhangers but none came in close enough for a shot. I was very impressed with the area and would love to make the trip back there some year.

My neighbor is hunting there this week and already scored on a big 9 point. I shoulda went with him. Would have loved to have seen the look on his face.
