Been times I wished. They’ve got some Booners out there, but alas, no hunting allowed.COOK COUNTY FOREST PRESERVE DEER?
The western/central bits of Northern IL have some excellent deer hunting. It’s no Pike County, but we do quite well.
This guy was all over my property a few years ago. Life had me miss a few opportunities (Halloween weekend had him 12 yards up-wind from my favorite bow stand multiple times, if I hadn’t been out Trick or Treating with the kids), and a neighbor tagged him during early season the following year.
