Drew my 2nd Illinois tag today. Same public property I scored last year 30 minutes into my first hunt last year. 6 Jakes then two mature toms. Also a 25#er the year before. Will see if there's any leftovers as soon as soon as they post. I'm very lucky to have my job, which allows me to scout and hunt statewide, and get paid for it. Opposite from years past, I have two 1st season tags this time. Then I'll fly to visit my wife in China for three weeks before returning for two late season May hunts in Wisconsin. My first hunt opens April 9th. She will move here shortly afterwards in June, when she retires from teaching. Can't wait. She wants to turkey hunt with me next year.
