RE: jim badger il.
I think you mean Jim Edgar Panther Creek. I didn't hunt last year, but did the year before and previously. I live in NW Indiana and got screwed by hot weather too many times driving all the way down there. Thousands of asian beetles plagued my last hunt. They take over down there in October. Now I do day trips to a couple public properties in NE Illinois. Only when the weather is cold. Much better results.
