Plenty of Deer but lots of applications for that zone from what I understand. Preference points probably needed.
I see your from Ill.. (Ill., my home state). I would check into some of the "special" Bowhunts up around Chicago-lots of Suburban deer & some dandy Bucks.
Also, if your planning a Iowa N.R. Bowhunt it is DRAW. I'd just plan on a WEEk or so almost anywhere in Ill. for a get away Deer Hunt. I love Iowa But my BIGGEST Deer are still from Ill..
I get to Ill. & go with my son & brother sometimes-I just go along & film but we get time together.
Good Luck on whatever you decide.
Down State Ill. (Shawnee Natl. Forest area) is very similar to the areas of zone 5 Iowa I have been to. I've been down there "fishing" for a few days the last 2 years in summer..
