Ill. A NE region or Central?

[Shifty06]

Does anyone else agree that IL should be in the Central Region Vs Northeast? Every other sport I have been involved in always has IL. a Central Or Midwest state. Never a North East.

I think you're gonna hear crickets on this one...Imagine what the folks in Kentucky feel like?

[Shifty06]

That's funny you say Kentucky, In another organization I belong too Kentucky got moved to the N.E. region as well we lost them from the North Central Division.

What's the issue with posting in the forum IL is listed in?

[Shifty06]

I just think IL shares more with the central region states than the NE region states. Closer weather patterns, Season changes, as well Geographic's. Plus if I said hey I'm from the North East region, then said IL. I think people may recommend I get my head checked by someone with Dr. in front of their name.

[Jigfishn10]

That's a fair statement. Not sure you're gonna fins a lot of doctor's here though...

I think originally, Glenn just sliced up the country.  Most people list the state in the title, so no one gets confused.

Ohh I was JW, didn' mean any harm by it.

I guess for me it's the geographically location of where I am in the state. Someone on the Eastern edge may have a diff. opinion. Since I'd fish Mo. Ia. just about as much as I'd fish Il. Plus I have never seen IL. listed in any other forum as NE region always central. First time I came to region specific I thought they missed IL. Since I didn't see it in the Central listed states. LOL  

I was jw why it was listed where it was listed I guess, an if anyone else had the same thought as I did.

Yeah, don't think it had anything to do with a "fishing region," more just carving up a map.  I doubt there's much in common between Washington and Arizona, fishing wise, but they're both in the western forum, lol.

[Shifty06]

haha yeah, very true

I agree with the original poster.
