It is true that we hunt some outfitted properties in Illinois.A friend of mine allows me to hunt on one of his leases in-exchange for promotion of his service. We don't use guides, essentually - it's just a way of getting on a farm. I don't consider this an "outfitted" hunt because we do all the scouting, stand set-ups ourselves. All the hunts Craig offers are non-guided. He just finds ground for guys for the season, a week, whatever a guy wants. Not a typical "guide service".

In Iowa, every piece of ground we have we've gotten on our own. Some leased, some from knocking on doors, but little public. I won't hunt public land so-long as I can continue knocking on doors and getting permission. I spent 16 year hunting public land in Michigan - which is enough for me.
