I TOTALLY disagree with you, in your statement reguarding IL at least.

Ever heard ofthe "Golden Triangle" in IL? I am sure you have since you are from here, a majority of those three counties are locked up by outfitters who practice QM, and look at what they producing year in and year out over there. Thentake a county similar in size, forage, and wooded arealocated out ofthe "Triangle"area and compare the numbers. I can't even begin to tell you how many truck loads of "little bucks" that I see here in the area I hunt, stacked up at the meat locker.
