I looked at a lease in Sycamore last year. West of peace rd and north of rt64, south of the hunt club. They wanted $3,000 and 3 hunters archery only were allowed. I saw it on basecampleasing.com. It had alot of small trees (not alot of spots to put treestands) . They said it was 111 acres but i would say it was only about 30-40 of timber/crp. I see it was leased this year but it may come available next year?? Good Luck!!

I would checkout Ohio before IL. IL was hit hard with EH . Ohio has some nice Deer and it wont ROCK you in the pocket . Out of state LIC is only $125, but I think thats going to change next year. Good Luck.

He lives in Northern Illinois, I highly doubt he is looking for a lease 8 hours from home rather than an hour. You would spend double on gas and hotel getting to the lease than you would on the lease.
Good leases are tough to find in Northern Illinois. You really got to get the word out and hope for someone that is giving one up or has one available. Be prepared to spend about $25 to $50 an acre.
