I got invited to go to Illinois for a few days in November. I think it’s Pike County. Anybody have any advice?

Are you sure? I think it was 50 some odd cases and they were mostly in Cook County. I know they had a bad case of it, but it was 5 years ago or so.

How the hunt go?


Struck out. Headed back now. EHD has just hit the area hard and we only saw one mature buck on the farm we hunted. Big change from last year.
We found several good ones that had been dead about a month.

FYI, I follow the Lindsey’s on social media and they confirm that EHD has hit Pike County hard. They are still finding dead bucks

Dang. I have a buddy at QDMA that usually tells me about stuff like that, but he hasn't.

Great dates to be there. Dont worry about the ones that died from EHD, you sure cant kill one of them.

But thats prime rut and whatever ones that ARE alive should be on their feet!

Good luck and stick a good one!

Best advice......sit daylight to dark. Take a sandwich and some snacks and stay in the tree all day.

Practice shooting your bow at 50-60 yards, assuming that you are bow hunting.

I will be across the river from you in Kentucky Nov. 7-12. Try to run a few big ones my way if you can.
