just wondering if any of you bow hunters live or hunt in NORTH WEST IL ?

I am from Dixon and will be hunting Lee county this year. Second year hunting, hoping to get a buck or a doe.....its all meat!

I'm from So. IL. but moved up to Kewanee last Feb. I'll be up here hunting public ground. I did secure a small tract of private land last weekend though. The surrounding area looks better than what I can actually hunt, but I'm thinking this tract will hold deer between and after the shotgun seasons.....also might be good during rut and serve as a funnel.We'll see if I'm right.

Where are you from?

I hunt in Franklin Grove.

i live in the far north west corner of Jo Daviess county about 20 miles from the IOWA state line and about 20 miles from the wisconsin state line

My brother in law and i have about 500 acres here and i have about 80 acres in carroll county and around the same in Stephenson county. can't wait was out putting up my last stand about an hour ago and seen 3 really nice buck on the edge of the timber the biggest was around 10 pointer with a really wide rack maybe 18 - 20 inch inside to inside 31 more days and counting
