Salukipv1,

I belive you are getting a deal for the price you are paying.

The county I was hunting in was Henderson.

The properties on basecamp are not in the "golden triangle" and the prices would be considerably higher if they were. Look at the aerials of the ones on basecamp. Most are not prime ground. I'd bet this is the stuff the outfitters dont want, so the general public gets to pick at the left over's. You'll notice it's almost always property at the end of a large wooded area and not the actual prime deer holding ground in the heart of the good areas. It's a joke that they are making big money off any piece of ground with a deer track on it. I will be glad when the tv shows stop filming and hunting in illinois and the hype is gone. I will be back hunting in Shawnee this year and yes it will be crowded and yes it will be frustrating, but I will have less restrictions then the land I leased and will also save 5 grand.
