I've been leasing in Illinois for five years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. We are killing some nice deer and having a bunch of fun.

Did 5 or 6 outfitted hunts over there prior to that and saw some big bucks, but never killed a deer on any of those hunts.

A decent 5 day hunt these days will run about $3500. I can hunt my lease about three times that many days in a season for half the price.


Leasing is the way to go for me.
