Southern Illinois!
 

Well,Looks like I will be moving to Southern Illinois!
My wifes grandmother is in failing health and with my job here in WV not being very stable,we have decided to move out to southern Il. so my wife can take care of her!
I am very excited about getting to hunt were the big bucks roam,but very worried about being able to find a good job out there!
Never had so many mixed feelings like this before,GOD please let things work out for us!!:eek:

Where will you be headed in S IL?

rw

good luck to you and all your family members

We will be in Harrisburg,in Saline Co.!

All of my mom's family is from Harrisburg, and my aunt owns about 700 acres down there. I live in northern IL, but have spent alot of time there. Small world, the wife and I are talking about moving down there as well.

You're going to love it there! We farm just south of there.

tens of thousands of acres of public land available to hunt too.

My wifes mom also lives south of harrisburg,down in Dixion Springs!

Dixon Springs is one of the most fun areas to bow hunt. I wish you the best, I do a lot of hunting all over that area.

Well,we made it.Just wish I could have got here in time to hit the woods!
It is going to be a long wait untill next season,I only got to go out a couple of times back in WV before we had to start packing!
HOLY crap batman,nine more months untill I can get after em again,talk about withdraw!!!!

Well,I geuss I would change my screen name to match the new location,don't know I geuss I'll always be a wvnimrod at heart!
But I can't wait to stick one of these beast down here!

Welcome to Illinois nimrod (that just doesn't sound right does it?). I was raised in Central Illinois, moved to Northern Illinois for work, but my heart is in Southern Illinois. Anyways, start your networking and scouting now so you're all ready for next season. Once you get that taken care of, you can start looking for work.

Thanks,Hope I can get a good network going down here!I'm lucky enough to have inlaws with some land to hunt but would like to find several spots so I have choices!I just hope that the search for work don't take to long!(that way I can build up some time off...:happy0001:

Hey man if you haven't found a job and are familiar with farming there are alot of opportunities in the Ag field

It's not Chicago, but it's ok. haha.

Thank GOD its not Chicago!!!
I'm a redneck and fit in just fine hear! haha.
Don't want anything to do with the concrete jungel!
