Illinois Bow Hunting?

Anyone on here hunted in Clark and Edgar Counties? I am curious about the hunting there.

Never hunted there, but all I can say is do as our ancestors did and "Head West"......the big boys are startin to move up there.... Buddy of mine killed this one on 10/21/10....Rattled him up on his farm in Brown County....140 5/8" 5.5 yrs old

If you want decent information about most hunting in Illinois you can log on to siloutdoors.com. It is a website based on hunting in Southern Illinois, but the guys on there hunt all over the state. I'm from Mississippi but moved to Southern Illinois this year in April. The guys on the deer hunting forum there are extrememly helpful and insightful when it comes to deer. They are a wealth of knowledge and have helped me find several good places to hunt this year. Hope that helps.

it doesnt really matter what county up there because it is so much more awesome than hunting in mississippi. One week up there will make you trade your whole season in down here.

I have hunted Edgar County- Missed a 150 or better and stuck one in the 140's on my 3rd day. Saw one of the biggest deer of my life on the trip. I would say anywghere in Illinois would be a good hunt based on the weather and if it does not cost you a lot, go for the experience!!

I would not go to IL. You should just stay home in MS, work hard, bathe kids, etc.
