2007 was the first time I hunted in ILLINOIS, the people are wonderful, and the hunting is great. What a great feeling knowing that the next deer coming in could be the biggest you have ever gotten. I got two bucks out there in 2007, one with the bow, and the other with the shotgun, both are my best bucks with each. Granted they aren't monsters compared to ILLINOIS standards, but they are my best and the memories will last a lifetime. 2008 I promised myself that I will try and hold off for a great buck, and I will do my best to do that. Best of luck Rob
