My advice would be to look around for land. Then i would get the adress andmeet the land owner. I would write a formal letter out. Ask for permission to hunt the property. Also make sure you tell him/her that you will put safty first and make sure all the laws/regulations will be followed. Thats one thing that mite help youout.

Why not hunt Sandridge Forest, Jubilee, Makinaw, Banner Marsh or Springlake? They are all free and offer great hunting spots. They are within 1 hour from Peoria. You could always contact a leasing agent.

Ya the company I wrok for owns the land right next to jubilee. I just found that out.. I was just asking becuase I want permanent stands.. I havent thought of those other places tho.. And I guess now Jubille has openned another 2500 acres..

I'm not from around Peoria but I had an internship there this past summer and I went with one of my coworkers to Jubilee State Park quite often. Wecovered a lot of ground. There is plenty of ground to hunt, but it is hard to distance yourselffrom horse trails. We did glass a few real nice bucks(130's or so)on the north side of the park. Just a little information.
