I live up here, but I don't hunt. You should be very successful if the weather is good. The deer are out of control in Southern Illinois. Illinois leads the nation in car/deer accidents, and it is common to see 15-20 feeding in the corn fields. I am from Louisiana, and I never saw deer as thick as they are here. Huge trophy bucks are harvested in the Shawnee NF. Very pretty area with rock outcroppings that look like mountains to a LA boy. There are good people in this area and you should have a great time.

Weather should be really nice, 40's to mid 60's. Excited to get up there and do some scouting.

That's the truth! I used to drive those back roads in the winter going to work and we used to say it looked like a Mardi gras parade where they threw deer instead of beads.....tire tracks and dead deer everywhere. They were thick! You're right about the people, great people up there!
