I do have 2 trips to IL planned for this year, neither of which is with an outfitter. But, I don't agree with you guys saying an outfitted hunt should not count. Apparantly most of you don't know how most outfitters in at state like IL work..... They simply lease land and put you on a stand. No difference between that and the regular guys from IL that get to hunt private land.

This is a friendly competition guys, keep that in mind. Nothing at stake here.
