New deer hunter in Illinois.

[Savagearms]

I have hunted before in Kentucky but now live in Illinois and am finding the hunting scene a little more difficult. I am having less success finding the deer and capitalizing on the rut. See in Kentucky we were allowed to bait and use rifles in Illinois we are not allowed to use either, kinda sucks.

Greetings Savagearms Welcome to the group. Great place to hang out. The state is pretty rough in finding a place to hunt. This is my first year hunting IL. I usually hunt in MI or WI. If it wasn't for my son I would be up the creek also. His friend down state has 50 or so acres of woods that he doesn't hunt or allows any else to hunt it. This is the first time the land will be hunted in years. Thank God for my son
Hope you find something. OUTFITTERS are very expensive. There are allot of state parks that allow hunting also. GOOD LUCK
