It is stagering to see the prices even with the economy the way it is. Just do some research there's still deals out there. I hunt a farm in MN where in 2 yrs I shot the one in my avatar 154 and a 140ish 8pt. I payed a little over $1000 for gas, lodging, tag, and tresspass fee. The average hunter can't afford the prices with outfitters. I did find an outfitter who charged me $1500 for a 5 day late season bowhunt. Lodging included in western IL. I saw alot of bucks and passed a questionable shot on a 140ish buck on the last day. there out there . Just got to put your time in looking online and making calls. IM me I can forward you some info on the places.
