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

I know they had a bad case of it, but it was 5 years ago or so. Pulling out at 4:00 am in the morning headed to Pike Co, IL. Will have to be a real nice one in order to shoot, but there are plenty of big ones that live there. We'll see.
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

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.

I have had the pleasure to hunt southern Illinois between McLeansboro & Carmi.
Its a whole different world of hunting than Alabama.

I know they had a bad case of it, but it was 5 years ago or so. I'm positive it hit the area of Pike County around Milton hard about a month ago. I found about 1/2 dozen last week on the farm I hunted and I know of several others found near creeks and ponds on other farms.

Good luck, I'm heading to Kentucky Friday through Tuesday. Weather looks pretty crappy. Yeah, we bumped ours back to Sunday. Saturday and Sunday looks like a washout but the rest of next week looks good.
