1st time hunting Illinois
First season here in Illinois. I got a base hunting permit (Scott AFB, St. Clair County) but talking to alot of people base gets hunted hard. Any good state lands around an hr drive from Scott that anyone can point me too. I know it is late but have had no time to get out with the new job.

Also, no doubt next year you will see the nonresident "limit" raised to however many additional gun hunters apply for archery tags this year. That's what happens when politicians declare themselves wildlife biologists. Manage strictly for special interest group and nonresident coin.
Wish I had better advice for you, but
Illinois public land deer quality sucks. The best advice is buy Iowa deer points and be prepared to pay $700 by 2021, when you will draw.
