A 115 inch deer is likely in the 2 year old range in Macoupin County and with 100 acres of timber you can pretty much bet you have a big boy in there somewhere. It still won't be easy though.

$5 an acre.

In central Illinois the cheapest I have ever seen was 20-25 and that was an odd ball piece. There are a few farms around me that lease out at 40-50 an acre. but the average is 30.
