Keep going down 57 and you'll see my hunting area in Williamson and Pope counties. Deer herd is great down there. Many big bucks.

Keep coming down 57 and see my hunting area in Johnson county. But remember, just look and leave everything as you found it.

MY DEER!

Seriously, don't ever ask a question like that again. (the walls have ears). Too many folks are cluing in on our wonderful deer in S. IL and migrating from Pike, Adams, etc....

Can't a guy have a little privacy? GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

well i think the secret has been out on pike for awhile now... One of my buddies goes to college down in Houston, and one of his friends down there is always asking him if he can come to illinois to hunt deer. he always asks him about how huge the deer are here, he said that the guy(from houston) makes it sound like the deer in Illinois, and especially pike, are some mythical creatures, like giants and unicorns or something. he gets a kick out of it.
