There are some real good spots on public ground in south central Il . If you hunt smart and hard, all day sits, a 130-160 is a reasonable expectation. There are some special draw areas but most is show up and hunt. I hunt a lot of public area and have seen a number of really good bucks and even a couple that would have gone over 200! I usually see about twice as many bucks as does in some of the areas that I hunt.
