I live in south eastern IL. Hunting here used to be great, but in the last few years, all the farmers have figured out they can make another buck leasing. I've lost all my good hunting grounds. But low and behold, my best friend informs me that his family has propery in southern MO. It's never been hunted and DNR is even putting a food plot in to help thin the numbers a bit. Trail cam pics of 14 pointer, 2 mountain lions, , a bear that tried to get in thier tent, and turkey sign everywhere, and orders from DNR to shoot hogs on sight. Hunters dream come true sounds to me like! Hoping my luck is turning around. I've put in for vacation and going for spring turkey with my friend. (No tent!......CAMPER) hope we have some pictures to post in a couple of months. Hopefully not of mountain lions as one was stalking a hunter in deer season just a few miles down the road. I sure could go for a pig in the ground though!
