I know many urban hunters cherish their hunting spot wherever it may be, as I notice more and more land being lost to subdivisions and even a highway cutting through a forest preserve near me, I want to reach out to fellow hunters and ask for help. I have never gotten a deer with my bow in the 4 years ive been bowhunting. I ve hunted public land and had a countless number of hunts ruined by other hunters. Im frustrated and ready to wave the white flag on that. Private land with deer and a good amount of land is virtually impossible to find around me and even when I do find an area the landowners are quick to say no. I had a spot lined up for this season, i had permission, until the landowner talked to his neighbor. His neighbor being a shotgun hunter didnt want him to allow me to hunt his property, the gentlemans whom I got permission from, so he told me to take my stand and get off his property. A spot to hunt spoiled by a fellow hunter. So out of desperation I am going to reach out to the hunting community and ask for help. I am eager to get my first bow kill. I have hunted for many years in Wisconsin during rifle season and been successful but not with my bow. I am an Illinois resident and live about 25 miles southwest of Chicago in the Suburb of Lemont. Im 21 years old, a full time student, and I also work fulltime, so even then my hunting chance are rare. Im asking for help for a place to hunt. I have been turned down many times but refuse to give up. Are there any fellow Illinois hunters willing to allow someone to bow hunt? Can anyone help solve my problem?
