RE: Bowhunting in Illinois???
you should be in the middle of prime time. Pike Co. has some good hunting but as mentiond before do not expect the monster nothing is a guatentee. Hunt hard and most importantly have fun and be safe.
also as mentioned before the temps could be from the 50tys to single didgets. i prefer 30tys and 40tys. it seems like the deer move a little better where i am at. I hope Il. can bring the dream alive and live up to your expectations. good luck
