    I was wondering would anyone be up to trade a week or weekend of hunting with me. I have ground in schuyler county IL and I would be willing to trade a weekend here for a chance to hunt hogs, a bear, elk, mule deer or well almost anything. I will be willing to talk about any of it.


    PM me or post something on this thread If your are looking for Schuyler county I live in Rushville and hunt on the outskirts of town. Come for a chance of a life time on a golden triangle buck

    How about a Vermont Bear hunt next year at a beautiful camp in the Green Mountains. I live in Lincoln VT and we have lots of black bear. It can't happen until next year as I am currently in Kabul Afghanistan, but would love to have a a chance to hunt IL.

    Same here, I swear I can look around at any point in time while on stand and see at least 10-15 squirrels running around. I guarantee success!

    I can offer an excellent Easter-Egg hunt. It's a no draw tag too.

    If you went to Beardstown you went right by all of the property that would be hunted.

    just off highway 67 and some is just of highway 24
    Did you have any luck?

    I guess that would depend on what you call luck.I saw the two biggest bucks I have ever seen on the hoof. It was my first midwest hunt and being from maine where our deer numbers are low it met all of my expectations. I saw bucks chasing does, I rattled in two bucks, things I only dream about here so I would say I had some luck, but I didn't shoot anything, didn't even draw my bow on a deer and still had an enjoyable time. Hopefully going back next year, heading to kansas in two weeks this year.

    I wish I had ground to trade hunts on but I dont own mine. I really want a 140 class or better 8 pointer. For some reasons I really like 8 pointers!

    I was looking for something other than deer... well a mule would be fine. but I really would like to hog hunt or bear or maybe like a texas hunt. Ive got some pics of deer from this year and well ive got 120 acres that we just got this year that I havent even put anything on this year that I would be willing to let someone come down and hunt it this year if they use a climber and have tags ready

    Want to come up to cananda for a hunt? Tags might be a little more expensive but we have a good early sept elk season and I have exclusive rights ti 360 acres of mule deer land. We have some monster mule deer and have seen some good elk on our hunts. I can't garountee anything but you will see some animals. I have always been tempted to head out that way for a hunt. Send me a pm if your interested.

    the main reason for the hunt is to take 2 does out. then you can take out a buck but he said the hunter could also get a bear tag. the hunt is free but you need to buy all tags and food. lodging is also free. let me know asap if interested so i can contact him before he gets someone else to do the management hunt. i was supposed to go but the dates 16th-22nd interfere with my states gun hunt.
