My son was picked for a hunt in IL in early Oct youth shotgun hunt. He was assigned a hunting property that's 143 acres. They sent us the cords for where to park and a little info on the property. I've never hunted the Midwest or any flat land at that. We won't have time to scout before the hunt as we arrive till early afternoon on the first day of hunt. From the parking spots, where would be the first start the hunt? I would think that large ag field at the bottom left would be a great place to hunt, just not sure if we would be able to cross that large creek in the middle/western part. I figure we start on that first evening, only go in few hundred yards. Slowing working our way in deeper each hunt. Would you let your kid shoot any deer on the hunt or try to hold out on a 2.5 or older buck? How do you hunt flat land? This farm has a whopping 10' of elevation change. Any tips on were to start and places to hunt would be greatly appreciated.
