RE: Illinois Bow hunting
Well The deer in the new property are very little pressured. for shotgun season on the new property that I can hunt. Currently I am hunting next to an old perminant stand that has not been used in years. So I figure its a good place. It is on a trail where deer would cross the creek and go around the bottom of the vally at the openings of 3 funnels and that are washouts. the spot itself is a funnal made by the creek and the valley wall.
I have been letting another property where I have my groundblind at rest because the land i can hunt is very small and the other hunters have already found the bedding area on their side of the property line and have ither driven the deer deeper into the woods or out of the woods and cross the rail road tracks.
The third property I do not know so well because its very large and I got lost in it once So I have a bit of a phobia about it, so I only go there when I have somebody with me. its very scary to come out of the woods at a place that looks like you went in at but your 500 yards past where you want to be and you keep walking the outside in hope you will get to the end of the corn and come to a road, which I did but IM not crazy about that place.
