Getting my tags Wednesday. This will be my first full season of hunting.

Good luck, & safe hunting!

[Archie]

I'm hoping to get out and hunt a little.  I was planning on taking a few days to hunt early in the season in Shawnee NF, but alas, it looks like that will not come to pass.

I'll be hunting in the far northern edge of the state, smack in the middle.  I'm sure the deer will be trembling at the mere thought of my presence.  LOL!

Region 4 for me, good luck all! The crisp mornings are here    

[pintail_drake2004]

[JEFF B]

[Rick Richard]

Going to be hunting out of the Joliet/Morris area come the first and second week of november.

[Brianlocal3]

I'll be hunting Region 4.  If I'm lucky I'll make a trip down to region 5

[Hoyt]

I'll start off in Shawnee in Southern Region and may try a couple areas of private land down here also.

Looks like we got a wk of rain coming in..also I can't believe how bad the mosquitoes are this yr. Worse than I've ever seen them in Il. I'm having to use my Thermacell.

Would think after a yr of drought they wouldn't be a problem.

[adeeden]

Region 3 for me! It's my youngest's first season and its going to be fun for sure!

[jmo]

Clark county by the Wabash river for me and my PSA III

[BenM]

I'll be close to home in region 2.  Might try shabbona a few times this year, never been there before.

[Rick Wiltshire]

Mostly in Iroquois County for me.

[wapiti792]

Wayne and Hamilton Co for me. Gonna hunt fall turkey in the am of Oct and Whitetails in the afternoon! Good luck!

[doowop]

St. Clair Co. for me. I usually don't start till about the third week of Oct.

[mark land]

Massac Co for me will be there Sun evening watching the deer come out and dreaming of starting the season the next morning.

I won't be hunting until mid October (big 50th birthday 2 week vacation with my wife starting Friday). I'm still working on getting a good place to hunt after months of asking around, but I have a lead or two. If not, I'll have to go public. I couldn't hunt due to a pinched nerve in my neck last year, so I'm chompin' at the bit. (most likely Rock Island County)
