No it is with Doug Doty of Illinois Whitetail Services LLC. He used to be Dreamwoods Outfitters but went on his own now. Great guy, we have hunted with him for the last 3 yrs.

I looked into the Wayne Fitzgerrell Area but it's only open 2 days that week and my guess would be that it gets hunted hard all of October.

Not going to make it opening day but Ill be out there the whole weekend. I was down at my place sunday checking food plots and trail cameras. Everything is looking good. Food plots are getting hit and a couple of small scrapes and rubs poping up here and there. Ive got upwards of 15 p&y bucks on camera so far, so the season is looking pretty good.
