Guest TheDeerHunter Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Re: Illinois Hunters Hey IL hunters good luck and hunt safe. Mach1 I'm over here at SIUE also. I live in Marion Country right next to Interstate 57 in Kinmundy,IL. I saw one big buck about a 1/4 mile from one of my hunting spots and a nice eight pointer next to my other spot. I hope this is the year that I put a big one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Re: Illinois Hunters To the boys from illinois... I'm an SIUE grad. I live in St. Clair and hunt Monroe also. I haven't had a whole lot of time to scout but from last year I know we'll have a slough of 2.5 yr bucks a couple nice 3.5s and there always a few bruisers. Its lookin like I won't have much time to hunt until about Oct 5 though. I may make it out tomorrow to check my stands. Good luck to all. When we start killing em we'll have to start our own pic post. GO ILLINOIS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Re: Illinois Hunters Man I didn't realize how many hunters were from IL let alone Southern IL. I hunt in Franklin, Jefferson, Perry and White Co. I have lived in Franklin Co. all my life and know most of the good buck locations around Rend Lake. I haven't taken one yet but have had my opportunities. Something always goes wrong and usually on my part. Good luck this season and Git-R-Done.

Mach1 Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Re: Illinois Hunters Illinoisbowhunter: My brother is at Lakeland this year too and I went there as well. We're from Martinsville and hunt south of there, primarily NE of Moonshine a few miles, if you've heard of that place. We've taken our share of good deer there.
