Yep, the days of simply knocking on a few doors and quickly lining up hunting ground are coming to a close everywhere. the whole system of leasing ground and/or operation of hunting clubs and outfitters has spread into Illininois. It hasn't take completely over, but it is getting bad. You can't fault landowners for taking the money if someone wants to lease their land either. Its their land and their business and it is not their job to provide hunting ground to people. I realized 6 or 7 years ago that the only way to go is to buy your own land. But its hard to convince some folks that is the case.
