One more bump for Town Hall. The trad guys are great to shoot with and a riot to talk with. Monte, Roger, and the guys working there are on the same level too. That place is one of the few things we miss about IL. While you are out, look up Big Momma's BBQ, they have the best pork steaks you will ever have.
And now on to hunting. Good luck finding a good spot to go, especially on private in your area. You will have better odds finding some private the further away from the Ofallon area. My best advice I can give is look south, down near Vienna. The Shawnee Nat'l Forrest is your best bet for something on public. Just be sure and do your research on google earth before you go and stay away from any roads for the best areas. Good luck.
