Where is a good place to go hunting in IL?

To be upfront and honest, I am a Wisconsin deer hunter that happens to live in Illinois.





After living here for 9 years, I decided to try and hunt deer here in IL. I am pretty dumb yet as to hunting deer here. I know nothing about hunting pheasants yet.





The following is a list of public hunting areas in the state of Illinois:

For gun deer hunting, a permit is required to hunt on these lands. Some permits are still available when I looked today for the late season. Selection for the third “winter” season hasn’t been done yet.





After you get a permit, you need to get a license and a stamp I believe.





All I can say is that it would be nice to have a printed regulation book. This state sucks.





As to where is a good place to hunt? Not the slightest clue.
