Has anyone hunted Panther Creek West of Springfield? If so is it worth the drive from Decatur?

I live in Williamsville and used to live in Chatham...I thought Panther Creek was a 3D club?

the state park, Panther Creek

Jim Edger also known as SITE M??
Yes I would say that it is worth it.....LOTS OF MONSTERS come off that place EVERY year....

IT has gained national recoginition....Go for it!

the panther starts up by us in roanoke il i've pulled 2 pope and young deer across it seen 3 150 class deer dead in it 2 were locked up it's cool all in 1/2 mile of creek so it's great by us don't know about by you

I hunted it last year saw some big bucks though the spoting scope but never got a shot on a good buck .I saw more hunters then anywhere I have ever hunted and theres 3 or 4 tree stands around every field .Last year I was drawn for the 3rd week of oct. this year I drew the last week of oct. the deer are well educated by all the traffic .At least 3 times I was in my stand and had to watch others put up stands and waste my evening.I am not used to that kind of pressure,but I'll try again b/c I can't afford a lease. Good luck to all.

Lots of land 15,000 plus acres, and lots of hunters. Yes you will see nice bucks but getting close to them can be hard. I have hunted there for years and will be there again this year. Its not easy dealing with the pressure but I have found spots to get away from the crowds. Once you hunt it some you will learn some tricks to the place. Make sure you have access to a deer cart. 2 Years ago my buddy shot a monster that was 1 1/2 miles from the road and it would have taken forever without a cart.

I will be there from Nov 5th for 7 days

If you are talking about Site M like said before there is lots of big bucks and lots of hunters i think last year or the year before a 200" deer was takin out of there. If your talking about the bow hunting club in chatham iv never been to it i pass signs all the time but didnt know if it was public or private?
