I hunted Sedan Bottoms several years. The problem we had was tons of pheasant hunters with dogs running all over. Then at night the coon hunters moved in, running dogs and spotlighting every woodlot. I'd never seen anything like it. Nobody is interested in coon hunting anywhere else I've been. We saw this first hand because we camped right in the bottom. It was OK for deer but only if you got way back to the extreme edges of the property.

We also hunted parts of the Stephens State forest and Rathbun Reservoir edges and if I return there, would like to scout some of these more. Man if I lived closer I'd love to scout all of it. I'd have multiple slammer funnels located in great deer country. I just never got to spend enough time to zero in on them.
