Well it looks like Ill be headed to the great state of Illinois this year to try a little bowhuntin'!! This will be my first trip hunting up there so Im pretty fired up. We are hunting in Edgar County during the end of October through the first week of November. Anybody hunted up that way before? Any tips from you Illinois bowhunters would be appreciated!!

Buddy, I hunt in Crawford Co. and you are hitting it at a perferct time. Especially if the weather cools down at that time. My favorite time to hunt in this area. Bring your bleat can, grunt tube, and rattle bag. It's game on! Who you hunting with if it is an outfitter?

Is Crawford fairly close to Edgar? We are gonna hunting on private land. A buddy of mine has family that lives up there and they have quite a bit of land. From what I understand we'll be hunting around a ton of crop and big woods. You killed some big ones up there?

It's two counties straight north of us. Edgar Co.has produced some monsters over the years. I've been blessed to take some nice deer hereover the years. The bucks are going to be on their feet and searching. Good luck and I hope you nail one!
