Is it Fulton County? If its Fulton or a neighboring county I think your doing just fine. I personally think Fulton is the top county in Illinois to get a trophy buck. I've talked to a lot of real estate agents that specialize in hunting property and they think Fulton is the best county to shoot a giant buck. It sounds like $2000 is a good price to pay if you hunt enough and live close by. The thing with Fulton is that there are 180 to 200 class bucks there and at any point the buck of a lifetime could come running by. Good luck and hopefully you can get some cameras out ASAP!
