hoytguy08 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: Anyone hunted Jim Edgar Panther Creek area in IL?? i haven't ever bowhunted there, but have thought about it, I have dove hunted there tho. I have scouted it before and my uncle has bowhunted there. If you get out of the way deep into the property there are some monsters. In one evening sit my uncle seen two bucks that would go 170+ and ended up shooting a doe(the bucks wouldn't come into range), where do u live?? if u want to find out more you can go to their main office and most of the guys that work there will gladly share any info they have(including hot spots) hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jyerb1325 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Re: Anyone hunted Jim Edgar Panther Creek area in IL?? thanks alot man. I live in Shreveport, LA. A buddy and me are coming up there to hunt the opener. We have never hunted in Illinois so we are kinda putting all our eggs in one basket. We researched alot of your state land and decided to go there. We will see how it turns off. Wish me luck----James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jyerb1325 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: Anyone hunted Jim Edgar Panther Creek area in IL?? Yeah, i wish i owned land up there. Ya'll are truely blessed whenever it comes to trophy bucks. This is going to be my first trip to the state. If i don't have any luck the 1st through the 5th i might come back up after the special rut seasons on the property. Your out of state tags draw a hefty price so i plan on making good on them. I hope you have a good year up there--- JY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisM Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: Anyone hunted Jim Edgar Panther Creek area in IL?? It is an awesome place! With plenty of big deer. I will clue you in on this much. Hunt the West Side of the property. The equestrian area side. Also, if you do a little researching, there is a pretty big outfitter that borders the west side of the property. It is called Timberland Outfitters, now you can't convince me that those deer don't jump the fence from time to time. Good luck, and let me know how you do, I will be there right after you.

Hope you have a good time!I've never hunted there,but people take some pretty big bucks on Illinois public land every year.Hopefully the weather stays cool.For what they gouge you for a NR tag you might as well come back if you don't fill your tags.
