Anyone in the central illinois area hear of the Allerton park deer hunt this year? I was one of the lucky ones to get a permit. can't wait. I copied a line from the article in the paper stating the population numbers.

"The UI brought in an expert to conduct a count of the deer population early this year. He recorded 730 deer in the area, with 383 within Allerton Park, or 163 deer per square mile. Biologists estimate that 20 deer per square mile is a tolerable number."

Should be insane hunting. They only give you seven days on your permit but a freind of mine that mushroom hunts in that park says I should be able to kill a lot of deer in 7 days. I am so excited I am loosing sleep and it doesn't open until Sat.

Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad

    WELL GOOD LUCK TO YOU SOUNDS LIKE YOU WILL SEE MANY DER


    My old man's backhand used to land,
    Hard on the side of my head.
    I just learned to stay out of his way.
    There's been streetfights, blue lights,
    Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest:
    It just showed me how much I could take.
    Hard times, bad luck.
    Sometimes, life sucks.
    That's all right, I'm ok.
    It ain't nothin' but another day.

    taco here is a couple news paper articles. And if you want to hook me up with a mailing address I can send some of the info I have left.
    I know it is a lottery. Aps were availible the whole month of August. Sounds like it will continue for a couple of years though If you (your freind) are interested in next year.

    http://208.5.125.166/ngsearch/index.cfm?page=searchresult.cfm

    hope the link works if not I'll copy/paste the article.
