Me and a buddy went to Illinois this past weekend to carry up some stands to put up and did a little scouting to get familiar with the place. We found all kinds of sign and several new rubs! Never hunted Illinois before but from what I can tell it's going to be a great hunt and I can't wait! I'll gladly take any advice any of you have for me cause it's not what I'm use to hunting.

Your likely in for a treat! When are you going to hunt? I plan to be in Pike co. Nov 5'th thru the 14'th
Be prepared to see a lot of deer and some really pretty bucks per age class, most 2.5 yr olds will be what you would normally shoot here, be patient as you will have a legitament chance to kill a super buck, with any luck!

I've never used a shotgun deer hunting but I figure 3 shots is better than one with a muzzleloader.
take the plug out and you have 5 shots.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can have three in the tube and one in the chamber. It's fun with the slugs but you definately can't reach as far
