block permit
Last time we went down to Adams County in ILL. the landowner told us there in-laws have a farm about 15 to 20 min. away. They got a block permit if you boys want to go see some deer. They are on there 2nd one and they can shoot up to 10 deer a night, What!!!!!What a waste. We were like No Thanks that is not
in the least bit cool.[:@]If this screws up our hunt down there.[:@] How many and
often do they give those out?

RE: block permit
Landowners and particullarly farmers can apply for permits that they get for free in order to control the deer herd. I know I hunted on 400 acres and the landowner had 8 antlerless permits that he wanted filled ASAP during the gun season (all were free from the state). Deer were killing his crops and breaking his temporary electric cattle fence when his cattle were in the corn. 10 deer a night seems like a stretch, unless he owns 1000's of acres. Some of those large properties need a lot of deer taken off and if they don't want outsiders coming on there property and there's only a few people that hunt the land, they need that many permits.

RE: block permit
A couple of places I hunt in Virginia have permits to spot light. The deal is you can only shoot does. No bucks. And man it helps a lot.I have a friend who shot 100does in one summer off his farm. The buck to doe ratio now is awesome. he shoots a ton of does each year with the permit and come regular season there are tremdous bucks everywhere. I have hunted Adams County Ill, and i can tell you the farm i was on had severe over population of does. Might be a good thing.

They told me there were shooting bucks and doe's and just throwing them in a pit and covering it up with dirt!
