Who is from Illinois?
 
Hey just wondering who all is from Illinois on here? And if you are near Kendall or grundy county?

kateraxl2381 03-07-2013 04:57 PM

I am, but the southern part..

fastetti 03-07-2013 05:05 PM

I'm from Chicago but hunt mainly in Central Illinois but have hit Southern Illinois for shotgun season two out of the past four five years. If you deer hunt, great state to live it!

fastetti 03-07-2013 05:07 PM

Also, Not much action this time of year, but this is a good forum for Illinois hunters. I'm sure once September hits it will start getting busy again.

I live in Dupage and hunt Jodavies...

Bugroof 03-24-2013 07:53 AM

I live in Oswego. I'm new to hunting and am looking for as much advice as I can get. I have 3 sons that are learning with me.
Actually, new to Oswego as well, so I don't know anybody. If anyone out here is willing, I am looking to meet some hunters that are willing to teach a newbie the ropes.
I don't know the area, so have no clue where to go.

stratomaster18 03-26-2013 10:56 AM

My advise would be public land. Also, when applying for a permit, public land uses special codes. You can't use the general county codes as these are for private land only. I already made that mistake lol.

salukipv1 03-26-2013 12:19 PM

add me to the IL list.

mostly hunt Jo Daviess for deer.

Bugroof 03-26-2013 03:19 PM

I'm from central Illinois, Logan county. I'm also new to the forum. Been bowhunting Illinois for seven years now, and am extremely passionate about bowhunting. I joined the forum because I'm looking for other people that bowhunt in illinois. I'd really like to get some kind club going or something so I can hang around with people that share my enjoyment of the sport. If your near contact me on here and let me know if you'd be interested in something like that.

Hunted Saline a few times, A couple private and once on Shawnee, all gun. Love it down there. Smallest deer I got was off of Shawnee but still a nice 7 point.

Veritas et Aeuqtias 08-01-2013 08:02 PM

Been in IL for 3 years now and haven't hunted. Things are looking up and I may be able to get out this year. This state is crazy, I'm used to PA, MD regulations and State Game Lands. Anyone have any opinions about Kickapoo SP areaA I live in the NW Suburbs of Chicago but the wife has family in Danville area. Thinking about taking a couple weekend road trips and giving the local public land a try.

Bowhunter2001 08-05-2013 11:29 AM

You could hunt MiddleFork State fish and wildlife area. I have bow hunted there a few times just for a change of pace and enjoyed it.

Like any park you have to be willing to walk a ways into the thick stuff to get great results away from other hunters.


I live in Champaign County and Deer hunt there and Wayne County IL

fastetti 08-25-2013 07:25 AM
