Hey fellas, I know it's late in the game, but is anyone looking for one more person to join a lease in Illinois? I'll be moving to Peoria, so the closer to there the better. Thanks!
Im not sure about that area for public ground, but the public that i've checked out on occasion while hunting leases in Missouri during bow season were a ghost town in terms of hunters. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a place to check out!
Not to hijack the thread but what are the names of some good ground in Schuyler ?? I'd love to lease some ground but can't find any either (OP) I am just south of Springfield.
Hop on Hwy 24 out of Peoria down to Siloam Springs State Park. Hunted this Park since 1988 every single year and will continue to do it till I physically can't. Your closer than I am. I'm 3 hours south. EHD has hit pretty hard the last few years on mature bucks. So now would be great time to learn your way around. If your there after Nov. 5th even be willing to point you in the right direction. PM me if your really interested.
