Yep, Illinois is no guarantee. I've spent 4 weeks out there over 4 years and have killed two 120 class bucks. Never really saw much over that. It's still much better hunting than whatI have access to here at home and each year I atleast had a borderline shooter in bowrange.

That's all you can hope for, a legitimate opportunity. It still takes a tremendous amount of luck for it all to come together.
