I am posting this on here as I will be driving thru the center of the state from beloit to where I90 goes west to south Dakota.
I have my name on the GB PD hunt list as an alternate and really don't think I will get the chance to go with this group. So I have been thinking about alternate plans. What I have sort of come up with so far is . I live in Northern Illinois (Machesney Park) and have never hunted PD before but I am going this yr one way or the other. I plan on leaving from work at about 11pm the night of the 12th of June driving up I39 to I90 to Pierre SD ,find a camp ground and hunt the National Grassland around there. I picked that date because the PD season opens on public land the 14th of June.Will be leaving for home on the morning of the 17th If any one has any interest I would not mind sharing expenses with 2 or 3 others that may want to meet from my starting point or along the way. If I go alone I'll just pull my little camper that sleeps one or I have a 12x12 outfitters tent that will sleep 4 on cots all you have to do is bring your own cot and bag I have all other camping stuff that will be needed. I have done many trips like this in the past just never for PD. Nothing is set in stone and all ideas are open for any takers . I have a Suburban that will haul 4 with no problem. Either way I will be going. Also I will be planing the same type of hunt to go over by Senneca and the Gays Mill area in late april or early may to try and find some of those hogs and probly hunt mushrooms if there is any intrest in that.
