Where's the best place to find available hunting leases in northern Illinois(or southern Wisconsin)? For the life of me, Icannot figure out how to find farmers who are willing to take my money! Anyone know any good sources?

Goooood luck. If you figure it out let me know. I have been trying for years.

not much leasing in northern illinois yet

Theres a program called access IL, might find something there.

Southwest illinois is where the big action is for right now....

Check out my website, not much up north now but I occasionaly have some property up there. The farthest north I have now is Marshall county.

Good luck is right. It's a lot of family land and people don't let others on unless they are family, or very good friends. Lucky for me I fall into one of those categories. I have some friends that have been trying for years to gain access and no luck. They have had some luck with some of the farmers down around the mid to southern part of the state.
