Default RE: Tracking in Illinois

I own property in Carroll County ILand we are starting to have the same problem. We used to know every owner 5 farms in every direction and we would share a case or three of brewat one of ourbarns after hunting.
Now they all lease out the land and I don't even know the people hunting next to me.

There are no fences on the back side my timber. Last year my son was walking and crossed on the nieghbors property by accidentand the guy who leasesd it yelledand threatened to shot him.

It won't be long until hunting your own land will be as bad as a state park.

Two years ago I shot a deer. It ran and crossed on the next farm and died in a grassy field.Before I even got there they tagged it and had it on their Gator. I went back to the barn on that farm and asked about that deer and they swear their dad shot it. A nice full body 6 pt. for the freezer. That never would have happened before that farm was leased to the outfitters. I guess when your paying $2,000 to deer hunt you don't care how you get your deer.
