Just so you are aware, many mid west states do not allow rifles. Places like Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio are shotgun or muzzleloader only for firearms.

I went to a place in Illinois a few year ago that was a little different. You leased land from them (usually 3 different farms) that you were the only hunters on for the season you hunted. You had a place to stay (old farm house or trailer), but were responsible for your own meals. The twist was that this wasn't a guided hunt. The owners provided maps of the property, took you there to show you the borders, and suggested places to check out and where deer have been taken in the past. You hung your own stands and hunted on your own. I did a shotgun hunt there for about $1,800 and killed a 152" 14 pt the first year. The place is called Outdoor Partners and the link is below. They are usually booked up so it may take a year or two to get in. May be a good option if cost is a concern wanting to bring the whole family.
