heck, the two largest F&W areas up north are Willow Slough/Kankakee Sands which combined is around 18,000 acres (WS-9600+-acres /Kankakee Sands 8400 acres) and they average 115-150 each year ... and Pigeon River which is 11,000 acres, and they are around the 200-around 300 yearly kill .... I'm calling downstate this week to find out whats up ..

if one includes the 600 acre non-huntable refuge on JP, and all the lakes/water areas and the Nursery, there is waaaay less than the 8100 acres of useable/huntable deer habitat ... there 'prolly isnt 400 resident deer on the place either ..
