I know hunters that have hunted IL. several years on managed land and haven't killed squat
If you think the 80 acres I have access to in IL. is a cake walk think again. 4 other guys have permission to bowhunt it and in addition to that there are 5 other guys hunting it Slug season. Nothing easy I don't care what state you hunt unless you own or have access to some pretty good ground with limited access. I'm not complaining if I can get to my stand 1st most of the time these other guys push all the deer by me!
