BTW, if you think it's bad in Kansas, come to IL.
Exactly. Where I'm from is starting to get pretty hot with Outfitters now. I have hunted a 140 acre tract for 9 years now. Three years ago half of it (right down the middle) was sold to an outfitter.
I have since hunted the other half, and just found out that this half will most likely be sold to the Outfitter in the next year. And this is some prime hunting ground around here. Multiple 160's and 170's killed every year within a mile of the place.
It really sucks, but what can ya do.
I talked to many of the guys that he brought in this year. He had hunters in from:
Texas, Michigan, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,and CANADA.
Just crazy. The sad thing is, they have put stands all over the proprty lines, and on more than one occasion I was sitting in my stand and had his "customers" come wandering past my stand looking for a deer they had just shot.
