Well Germ.. I'll give you an example.

I had a loose donkey on my land my second to last hunt that was being chased by the dude who owned it.. they were on the land I was hunting. This took place at about 7:30-8:00 am that morning.[&:] And as usual the neighbor next door had his german shepherd running around his 40 acres barking up a storm.. sometimes the dog even has the fancy to come visit me.. sometimes.

Shall I talk about my saturday eve hunt. Where dudes were literally walking within 50 yards of me in the tree chasing crows.. I think. Whatever they were hunting.. they were definately shooting at something.[&:]


I get ATVers.. trespassers.. kids looking to build a fort.. loose dogs.. donkeys.. snowmobilers.. even the occasional paintballers.. and of course other hunters. It's common place.. really anywhere I've ever hunted.

I'm not saying MI doesn't have its woes. But Illinois has lots of pressure too. Not everywhere.. as I bet there are areas of MI that have less as well.

Illinois certainly has much more mature deer.. but pressure is about area one hunts within a state.. not whole state. C'mon Germ.. I still love you though.
