RE: Illinois Slug season
I will be safely sitting out this gun season. It seems everytime I go during slug season I get walked in on, and or totally frustrated with the ethics of the other hunters. So good luck, but I'll stick to my sticks and strings. By the way, where are all of the Illinois boys from.
P.S. If you hunt with an outfitter or are an outfitter in Illinois, I don't care where you hunt, so don't tell me.

Andy,
No, this is on private ground, and I'm sure they had permission to hunt it, but it is just common courtesy to not park behind somebody else's truck and hunt there, especially on 20A. I graduated from SIU last May in Agri-Business, I hunted a little in Giant City. In fact, I'm coming down tomarrow for Halloween with my friends. Oh, I'm from Edwards county, and thanks for the offer, but I think I'm set on hunting ground right now, that is until it get's leased up. Don't get me on my outfitting rant, I hate them!

Andy,
Yeah, they have put a tight grip on Halloween down there, but it's still alot of fun. Giant City kind of sucks compared to hunting private ground, but it was still nice to hunt down there. I live about two hours north of C-Dale, so I got to come home on the weekends and hunt alot. If you're looking for a place to party tonite come over to Copper. See ya later.
