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?
