2 things to keep in mind.

The WRP payment is HUGE for this ground for a return. We have not enrolled due to the fact we want to pass this onto the next person for them to make their own decision.

The other is the fact that the 600 acre island that sits behind us is considered MO ground. The guy who owns it has no problem with me hunting it. This means I can hunt MO and IL within footsteps of each other. I have 1 spot on my place where I can sit and watch all the deer come off the island and filter into our fields across the open slough. Makes for some very fun scouting!
