Illinois Public Hunting Area Map
This is great! I hunted southern illinois last year and had a great hunt killing a 137" 7 point. I will be going back for sure and this may open up some new areas to check out that are possibly being overlooked by nonresidents. I could not get the public land map to show but it could just be my...- jthurs

You got it StrutNRut! I hope that some day you can convince your wife to move with you because you dont want to be too late in your life to do it and have regrets.

The reasons I want to move out there are pretty simple. The hunting and fishing diversity anywhere I have been blow vermont out of the water.

Ok thanks for the replies and the heads up on the weather guys! This winter in VT has been especially brutal and we still have over 2 feet of snow on the ground and have set records for consecutive negative 20 below days with wind. I am assuming that is probably the norm out there and I may put...
