RE: Team 16 Thread
I am here. Unfortunately, I did not draw a resident special property permit in the Illinois lottery this year. I signed up prior to lottery results being posted. As a result, my odds of taking a buck with a gun are not good this year. I will be concentrating on bowhunting a newly opened public land here in Illinois. The gun seasons are short here. I will pull a county permit to gun hunt in the Shawnee Forest, if I have not already spent my 2 buck tags during the archery season. We'll just have to see. I strictly trophy hunt. Won't shoot at anything below 140" regardless of weapon.
