Nice to hear from some neighbors! I live in Aurora. I hunt on private land so I've never hunted this public place, but I heard it's very good. It's called Des Plains Fish and Wildlife area. It's down off of I55 and Wilmington-Peotone Exit - just south of Joliet. I pass through the park quite a bit going to my parents house. I always see deer. Seen some nice bucks too. Take a look at this site to get more details - http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/landmgt...PLAIN/PARK.HTM. Their number is 815.423.5326.

I heard Shabbona Lake is a good place too.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
