I have a question. While I realize much of Shawnee National Forest is privately owned, I've heard rumors the state of Illinois leases some of Shawnee National Forest's public land to a few outfitters. Is this true?
Actually, none of the Shawnee National Forest is privately owned. And, it is owned by the Federal Government not the State, so i find it hard to believe that any of it gets leased out by the State.
