I'm from Porter County. I usually go out west for elk, mule deer or pronghorn, then bowhunt deer here in IN, IL, IA or KS. Drew a Utah bison tag this year, but that isn't until last week of Nov, first of December. So this year I'm deer hunting first, starting in IL. I've seen much bigger critters there, due to their short gun seasons. IN is OK in a few spots I hunt.
