OP here, thanks for the great replies guys.
Sounds like illinois sucks hard, and indiana slightly less hard. This is not that bad, as I'm likely headed to Ft. Wayne, IN.
The stuff about FOID and hunting deer with a shotgun (wtf) is honestly blowing my mind. I guess I'm spoiled with good gun laws.
I have some family in Indiana, and might have access to in-laws' farm. How easy would I be to hunt in that situation?
Aside from hunting, what is the camping culture like in these states? Also interested in hearing about river /out/ings.
Keep the info and Midwestern infighting coming brothers!
