Preserve or free range hunt? White-tails
I want to pull out of Michigan and begin taking a (week) in Illinois each year to go for a 130 + White-Tails (Yes, I love Michigan but humor me)
I have dumped some cash on Moose, Caribou & Bear and been successful..
But the whitetails.......I'm not sure of......
For my first 130 + hunt I'm looking at 2 options. I know I want to move forward with free range hunts for trophy white-tails but for my first drop of cash I'm contimplating these 2 options. Please help me here...My gut is telling me get the first monster out of my system and get him on my wall because 3 grand is alot of money. (We're all different but these are "my" feelings)
Option 1) A 3 day guided hunt with shotgun in trophy country (Free Range) Illinois for $3350?
Option 2) A 1000 acre ranch in Michigan 140 - 160 B&Cgauranteed Hunt for $3500?
