Any IL or IA guys want to do a hunt swap?

I've got 500 acres in central Mississippi. QDM. Nice camp, with beds, showers, electricity, stove, microwave, etc. ATV's, stands, etc. Our deer usually rut around mid to late December. So you can hunt the rut twice!! That is what draws me to Illinois each season!!!

Just wondering if there is any interest. There would be a minimum buck size you could harvest, probably around 120 or so.

Our land has 2 live creeks running through it, 150 acres of 8 year old pine, 250 acres of mature hardwood forests. The balance is in lakes, ponds, food plots, camp area, and 1 year old pine/grass land. It's really a beautiful place, with a rolling to flat topography with a few bluff and draws mixed in. Send me a line if interested.

Located less than 1 mile from a 15,000 acres bow only refuge.

Also, I would like to set it up to where it is 2-3 hunters, but I will consider a solo trip

Would there be a chance to shoot some hogs or ducks ? And how does the tag system work down there and how much for the tags ?

Sorry, we don't have hogs or ducks on this property. Duck hunting has really gone down hill in the past decade in MS. Hogs are also not very widespread and only a few places have a huntable population.

The tag is over the counter, about $300 I believe, similar to IA or IL

This hunt is primarily a deer swap. No, our deer are no where near the size of IL or IA deer, but if you love to bowhunt, it gives you a chance to hunt the rut down here way after your rut has ended. Very cool. You could hunt squirrels too if that's your thing.

Also, I'm not sure though, but I don't think NR can shoot does???? I will find out if anyone is interested.
