Eric,

Go to ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES page. When it comes up, Put the cursor on PARKS & LODGES and several options will appear to the right, look for CONSERVATION AREAS and click it. Somemore options will then be available in a blue box, click on HUNTING. Then select REGION 2 and finally find Midewin. All the info you need is right there. I recommend that you read it ALL, probobly several times and take notes. There' s lots of little things required at the Midewin site like the walk in and out procedures, daily fees, etc....

It is a good area with some fine bucks (and does) for those who have patience. In all seriousness, if I were to be there I would sit tight ALL DAY and hope other guys get things moving for you by their movements.

Good luck.
