RE: who hunts IL.
George_s, I do not hunt the state park but I do know alot of people
who do, and do very well. You will have to get a permit next Sept. but you will have to have your tags with you. The Anti hunters were taking all the permits over the years. You can hunt both sides of the river. I work over by Heideke and there are alot of deer there. There is a archery range on the 102 side of the state park that has 30 targets in the woods and a deer stand to shoot out of.
If you know of any kids who want to hunt there is a youth hunt held here by our park district. There are alot of deer there and they will see deer there every time out it has'nt been hunted in 20 years.
