I just got back in last night from my hunting trip in southern Illinois. We were hunting near the little towns of Olney, Newton, Noble and Ingram. Farm country like you have never seen. Nothing but corn and soybean fields from road to horizen broken up by the occasional stand of hardwood timber. And what gorgeous hardwood timber it was. Giant acorns dropping everywhere. Squirrel Heaven. I must have seen 50 big fox squirrells in the 4 days we hunted. We had the permission of 3 different farmers to hunt their land. I killed a very nice 8 point which I will post a picture of as soon as I have one available. I also saw a huge 12 point, a 4 point, a 6 point, a small basket racked 8 point, 25 turkeys, lots of does and a 10 point that I watched through binoculars about 350 yards out in a soybean field that had a huge rack and looked like he would have went about 260 lbs. Needless to say I had a blast and will return next year. The only thing is we really should have went about 2 weeks later than we did. They hadn' t gotten all the corn harvested and a lot of the deer simply bedded up in the corn fields which made them nearly impossible to hunt. Will post a pic and the details of my deer when I get a photo back.
