RE: Illinois hunters
Chambersburg/Valley City bottom mostly. Did hunt down by Perry Springs one day first season. The bottom gets to be pretty hard hunting after the first day or so. It get's ran pretty hard by a few guys looking for trophy racks. Had a run in with em on Day 2 of first season. They pushed a nice buck to me, but I didn't have much time for a shot. I hit him, but then they pushed him about a mile or so from where I shot him. Tracked him about 3 hundred yards before I lost the bloodtrail. Following his track wasn't much good either, I lost it and the bloodtrail in some tornup ground that a bunch of deer had ran through. [:@] My brother in law is one of em. Although if I didn't have my father in law's ground to hunt I wouldn't have a place at all. Still, I managed to fill the freezer between firearm season and muzzleloader season. Still have late firearm yet to hunt.
