I also have a farm in Greene county Illinois. The deer can get huge. in my opinion as big as anywhere else in the country. I Have killed many nice bucks in the last 15 years the biggest was a typical 16 point with an inside spread of 26.75. gross scored 211 a few in the 150 to 170 range as well. I will email you a few pics I might consider a Bear hunt. I have a newly built 3 bedroom man cave I can put you up in and I believe in Illinois you can by an Archery tag over the counter as a non-resident. Season opens October 1st and runs thru the middle of January.
