Ok....I currently lease land in west central illinois for bow hunting but have been looking for a place closer to home to rifle hunt and turkey hunt. I met a guy and after several chats got invited to join his hunt club. They have a 10 year lease on 11,000 acres about 45 minutes from me. There are 18 members and 20 is the maximum. They are going to let me allow a friend to join so I have an immediate hunting buddy to make the 20 members complete. The property is shared by a jeep club but they pretty much stay on certain designated trails on top of the mountain. The property is managed by QDMA rules. The cost is only 400.00 per year.....I couldn't shell out the money fast enough. The landowner lives in Ohio and established the hunting club to help keep tresspassing and poaching down. He don't care about the money. He just makes enough off the members to pay the required insurance and maintain the gates. The club provides all labor for upkeep of roads, gates and signage. It also has 4 deep and wide creeks with good fishing and waterfalls for swimming. I may go up there and start scouting this weekend
