Gee I dunno sounds like a pretty good deal to me. You become friends with just one guy and your managing 280+ acres..Plus they have a minumum in place already. You can't have too many spots can you??

Hard for me to say really. Everywhere I hunt now I have to share with a few others who gained permission the last few years. Its killing me because I do not see the amount of nice bucks I used to have to myself. 146 acres to yourself is not a bad deal.

$700 a year? That would be my cost.

Doesn't matter who else is out there, Schultzy. You are relegated to YOUR area.
2200 acres is allot of woods. Who says you would all be out there at the same time?

I hunt Illinois Jeff. A vast majority of the state is private lands. Small farms of usually about 40-80 acres in size.
What I've learned while hunting these small tracts. Most, like 95%, of the hunters around me are not that good at hunting a mature whitetail.
If you hunt smart.. and hunt correctly.. that "bottom of the barrel" piece may be on heck of a place to kill a good buck.
Just my opinion.
