Rockport, what (General) counties are you in. You don't have to say if you don't want. Just curious if you are within an hour or so of Peoria. Trying to see if you are near where I hunt.
I grew up in Pike county (Rockport IL) and went to school 20 miles away in Pittsfield IL
I have permission on 500ish acres in Adams county (around Quincy IL) 500ish acres in pike (near Pittsfield IL) and about 50 acres in Scott county (near Winchester IL and not far from Jacksonville)
This year I killed a 10 point in Pike with my bow, a 16 point in Adams with a shotgun, and didn't hunt Scott.
Pike is the county that is loaded with out of town/state hunters although all 3 counties have their share.
I am very fortunate to have so much land to hunt. The outfitter interfered with the farming 1 to many times and got sent packing.
