You guys need to remember yours problems ain't the same all over the state . I got deer out the a$$ here.. there are a lot of other places thats the same way .
Another thing sone of y'all want things you will never have . I learned that many years ago when it comes to having huge bucks here. You kill one here that hit 120 you pretty much topped out .
Sounds like us, Frankie. 57 years of hunting the same land and we have never killed a 130 deer. I'm sure that my dad and I were lousy hunters, as were all the folks we've carried, but we were good enough to kill dozens in the 110-128 range; just never get a bigger one.
And the state rules have almost nothing to do with it. We are surrounded by big clubs that all have restrictions on the size and number of bucks a member can kill, and those restrictions are much more than anything the state could ever hope to pass and enforce. We are loaded with deer, and have a lot of what I consider nice bucks. If you wanna enjoy the hunting experience, you just have to accept the fact that you aren't in Illinois.
If you wanna have Illinois hunting, go to Illinois.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
