[quote=fastetti;3847753]I personally love hunting Illinois and think its a great state to hunt in. You have to realize you live within 50 miles of a city of over 2 million people, there is no way to have enough land for everyone. Look at some of the bigger cities in the country and then look at how much public land they have near them, it isn't much.




I agree!
BUT if land is bought with revenue from Illinois hunter's then that land should go primarily to hunters. If any land is purchased from public tax money then it should go to the public. All sportsman have to pay taxes besides all the expense of any equipment that is also taxed for conservation purposes. We are taxed three times. The public is taxed one time. I think that should decide how it goes.
