Is there any public ground? Hard to get access? Decent hunting at all?

There is a ton of deer hunting in central IL (the deer population is enormous), but a lot of it is on private land.

That's what I'm afraid of. I've heard it's hard to get access. I try not to buy beef--I just shoot about 6-8 deer every year. Paid hunting is destroying hunting.

Really, everything you seek is available online at the IL DNR site. Give them a call too. They will be able to provide you with more specifics for any single township/county/etc. as far as public lands are concerned.

Good luck!

I get that. It's one thing to read a website....another to actually hear someone say "yah...I hunt on public ground with success". The website will paint one picture, while real life might be another.

Understood, but they will answer questions with arguably more accuracy than you might find here.

I suggest an IL hunters discussion forum, not this one. 'Central IL' covers a lot of terrain and variables.
