I' ve hunted Medewine Tall Grass Quite a bit. Lots of changes going on around there however. There is thousands of acres out there. 19000 of which we can not hunt. Hunters have been gathering together trying to get thewm to open this land up. The land we can use, they have been clear cutting a lot of it to make it all prairie.

However, overall it' s a great public land hunting area. I hunted there last year 5 times. I hunt out of parking lot 3. Everytime I went out I saw deer. I went out last Thanksgiving and saw a monster buck. About a 150" 10 point walked across me at 80 yards. Too bad I did' nt have my bow sighted in for that distance

There is all sorts of good hunting out there. There is also DesPlaines Conservation district, which borders Medewin. I' ve heard the best out there is the Joliet Training Area. I' ve never hutned it, but a guy I work with hunts there, and sees big bucks there every year. I think he said 7 deer over 160" were taken out of there last season. A biologists runs it, and does a great job with QDM. You also have to test with your bow in order to get aq tag there. He only hands out a limited number. Back to Medewin. Great place to hunt. I wish they would open up the 19000 acres though. There are deer over 200" in there. Every once in while they wander out to the hunting areas. The guy I work with saw a monster over 200 last year. He got it on film before season started. It was mighty impressive. His horns were heavly palmated. Looked like a damn moose. He saw the deer one more time during the first week of bow season. Said he was standing there at 100 yards. The film was impressive, would have liked to see him in person. I' d recommend hunting it. Great land. We just have to get the Anti' s who run the place out of there. They want it to be a wildlife haven. Yet they clearcut a lot of trees. Thats not really productive for the wildlife expecially the deer. Anyway, hope I helped.
