Man, seeing these bucks just makes me mad I can't hunt the land I was on last year in Southern Illinois! There are some great deer down there. People think Pike is great, I like to think that Southern Illinois is a hidden gem that hasn't got the publicity and hopefully people won't catch on to it!!

Katerax,
I completly agree with Uncle Matt, there are no big deer in southern Illinois. I meant a big deer for southern Illinois is a 6 pt that scores 100. I would tell everyone who wanted to go to Southern Illinois to just head to Pike or Iowa. No deer left in Southern Illinois. Wink, Wink
