It is comprised of many separate parcels of land, some of which are several thousand acres in size. Some of it is what you would call big woods. But it is not hard to hunt if you do your homework. I recommend studying aerial and topo maps and go up there before the season for some preseason scouting and figure out where you want to hunt. You could literally just park your truck at a random spot and walk 200 paces into the nearest woods and stand a decent chance of being in a pretty good spot. If you go in early-to-mid November then you better watch out because the rut will be in and you never know what you might see! Just pray that you get some cold weather, though, because warm weather slows deer down in Illinois more than it does down here in Alabama. Good luck.
