I could only read the first page (I believe) but think its a great article! I live in Downtown Chicago and have a couple urban hunting spots within a 25 minute drive of the Sears Tower! The property I hunt is usually no more than 2 acres and borders forest preserves as well. One of the neighborhoods I hunt has no house less than a million dollars and all welcome the idea of getting some deer out of there. They love the flowers and after these people spend $2000 and up on gardens a year they dont want the deer eating them. Plus, once they hit one with their car they are more than happy to get as many out as they can.

I personally love these urban spots because its a good 3 hour drive to my buddies spot down in central Illinois so I can be at my urban spot in 20 minutes with no traffic. I'd much rather be hunting hundreds of acres in Central Illinois but certainly wont pass up the opportunity to hunt close to home.

Here is a nice Urban buck with my bow from 2 seasons ago. I hunted my butt off and there were bigger ones but he'll do.



Here is one that I got on my trail camera this week. Can't wait for the season to start!
