i love it when people are brainwashed to think that because IL has some great deer hunting means that it is like huntingan intensely outfitted area!! someone earlier in the post compared hunting the Tecomate to hunting Pike Country IL(assuming you weren't talking about an outfitted hunt there)......hilarious! these morons obviously haven't talked to any out of state hunters that go home empty handed or with a subordinate buck because it wasn't as easy as they thought it would be!! the only way to compare those two is if the hunter was hunting on hadley creek in pike co., then you could somewhat make a comparison......otherwise just dream on! i am not speaking on a single instance within just his post, i have witnessed many-a-moron make comments that hunting IL is easy. get real!
