Makes up my mind, I'll take my chances with Kentucky (half the cost).

They know the horn hunters will pay it I guess. Who can afford that much $$$ for a short hunt? They must have more vacation time than I do, or else they are retired! That's a lot of money for a few days and no guarentee. To each his own I guess! Did you read any of the comments? I'm not suprised some of the locals are tired of NR hunters.

Sheesh !
I don't like it, but I'll pay it again this season.
Still way cheaper than a lot of other forms of recreation, and way cheaper than many other hunts. Hard to beat Illinois whitetail hunting.

I'm like everyone else, I hate to see it (again).
I try to justify it this way.......
I'll probably spend around $1000 hunting Illinois this year but I wont go out west or to Canada. I'll consider Illinois my "hunting trip" for the year. The good thing about Illinois being my hunting trip is that I can hunt it for 3 months instead of 1 week.

That's a lot of money for a few days and no guarentee. The no guarantee part is called hunting. ;D |

The good thing about Illinois being my hunting trip is that I can hunt it for 3 months instead of 1 week. thats what i consider my trip for the year also. my buddies always say that i should go out west, but i would be spending alot more if i went out there. and the nice thing about illinois is that i would only be about six hours from home. i think im just going to put in for the two guns seasons over there and not bow hunt it becuase we are still usaully in the fields during the first of november. |

I'll second your buddies opinions buckeater.
You ought to go on a western hunting trip if you never have. No comparison at all to hunting around here. It's totally different deal and really an awesome experience. Nothing like hunting the mountains with a flat shooting centerfire rifle.
