RE: Southern Illinois Public Hunting Land?
I grew up about 7 miles from Red Hill. I have never hunted it, so cannot give details on it, but I can tell you that the general vicinity is crawling with deer.
It is far from any large population center and is surrounded by private land where it is still relatively easy to get permission to hunt. So, i would ASSUME that the park would not be too crowded with hunters, but I could easily be wrong.

Yeah, there are some big bucks in the Embarras River bottoms, and everywhere else too. This past year one was takenoutside of Claremont (about 6 miles fromRed Hill) that was supposed to be close to making it to Boone and Crockett or something like that.
