I could not find an "Off Topic Forum" for Illinois and did not figure I would get much response in the "Hunting Forum". I am looking for helpful information for hunting the Shawnee Forest in southeast Illinois. My brother and I will be carrying our daughters up for the youth hunt and just trying to figure out the best way to determine what is public land and what is private land? I have hunted Crab Orchard and Fort Massac in the past and may just opt to take them to one of those but I know there is much more property to hunt. Trying to determine best options for lodging and camping as well. I have been on the DNR website and gathered some information about camping but hunting info is kind of vague...
