Thanks for responding. I Have been doing lots a research andf even got a digest and 2 DVD's on the subject from my DNR. I will be reviewing these later this weekend or maybe into the week to gather more info. As for local gun clubs and trappers so such luck so far. My area is heavily populated with people that just want to shoot guns and dont care for the hunt. I have run into an old timer that does hunt but he hunts in WI,IN,MI,OH,MS. He doesnt like to hunt in IL due to reguations so he goes elsewhere. And he just bowhunts I believe. He offered to take me with so I can shoot the yotes that interfere with his hunting but he goes for weeks at a time hunting which I cant do. Even with all the set backs I am determined to hunt. I want to start with Yotes cuz it has the least restrictions and move up the like to bigger game when i get more skill and equipment aquired.

I agree hunting seems to be a dying sport. It seems people in my age group (20-30) just want to get an AR to blow up targets and thats it. I tried to get a couple friends to start this up with me but they dont have the patience. They got irritated when I spent the time dialing in a scope on my ruger 10/22. They wanted to blow through the 500 rounds of ammo we got and thats it. So frustratings...anyway I digress.

Anywho, any information that help im open for.
