RE: Controlled pheasant hunt @ Des Plaines in Il...
I've not hunted there for quite a few years but hunting started at 9:00. You had to check in by 8:00.....the earlier the better as it was first come first choice for the area you wanted to start hunting in. After the first hour you were allowed to huntany other open areas. I would double check though as I said, I haven't been there for a while.
