The stats are two years old
The stats are not two years old. It is possible you looked at them two years ago. I own the book and am looking at it right now.
And hey.. I'm not knocking anything you do Greg. I think its great you have land in Lake cnty, Illinois. I've lived in this county my whole life.
But the land is at a premium.. and there is not much left.
Don't say that there is when there is not. It's all about who you know.
I've been looking and asking everyone I can for nearly 3 years now and still never get a yes. And just finding land that isn't owned by the forest preserves, or banks, or developement company's is real hard.
Oh.. and my PM box works.. I'll pass it along to Justin. We're both just curious.
Duke,
Don't insult my intelligence, I'm not as dumb as you look. I don't like being accused of lying. Everything I have said is true. I don't know or care what "book" you own but I do know where most of the P&Y and B&C bucks come from in Wis. and Ill. I've been reading and studying this stuff forover 30years and hunting for longer than you've been alive.
I never said there was land left, whatever that means, you did. All I said was that Me and a couple of others gain permission or access to hunt land in these two counties every year. That is fact. You may wish to rethink whatever you've been doing for the last 3 years and try something else, you've got nothing to lose.
Tip: My friends and I are in the trades. We've been known to rewire, paint and add concrete to an entire barn for one season of hunting. Sometimes it leads to something more permanent.
This thread is about the top end bucks in YOUR area, not whereGregH hunts or how he gets permission.
PS. Don't hold your breath for that PM.
