RE: who hunts IL.

well i found a nice oak ridge. i killed 2 does and a friend killed 1 in the same weekend on that ridge. one of the guys that i was with bought a plat map and it showed private property and the forest. He bought it at the convience store right before you get to the park. They have big bags of ice there also. The others killed 1, in different places and there were a lot of stories/sightings. i really ticked them off because they drove quite a way from the park and i was only 5 min away and a 100 yard walk. But the group only got 4. They were bumming but i thought that was pretty good. i deffinatly have plans on going back. if you are that close maybe we can hook up in Oct. when the acorns are dropping. i also hunt a little south of there in a little town of Tamms. I found a 2 to 3 acre patch of mature oaks in the middle of a been field and it is a magnet during the middle of Oct. when the acorns are droping
