There is still quite a bit of hunting ground available for sale in parts of the state. In some areas, it is way too expensive, but in others you can still get enough to deer hunt on for the price of some newvehicles. Its just an issue of saving the money and shopping around.

Ultimately, the best solution is to increase the amounts of public land available for hunting. If i was still a resident of Illinois I wouldhave already started a petition for Illinois to start a program like in south Dakota where the state leases scattered patches of private land and opens it for hunting.
