RE: Illinois Hunt - 2 Months and counting down...
yup, I never thought I would get excited about hunting a Whitetail over a Muley. But our deer population is so poor nowadays that it isn't very easy to fill out. But on the other hand, our Elk population is booming and we are one of the top three states I believe for world class elk. (I am pulling that number out of the air, nothing to back it up other than knowing we keep up with Colorado, Montana, Arizona and Utah for awesome Elk).
I love IL as I have been fishing there a few times in the past and sat in a tree stand 5 years ago with my buddy while he was hunting. I can't wait to get back to the Midwest.
