Hunt for ?????

[NY911Bowhunter]

Me and a buddy were talking, and got an idea. I figured this was the place to ask since it is full of great people.

We are looking for a place to go for a week or so to bowhunt whitetails, outside of New York, preferably out West more (Ohio, Iowa, Kansas,Etc). Pretty much anywhere we have a decent chance at a 130" buck or better.

We are not really looking for a guide service, pretty much just want to hook up with another forum member or two and hang out, hunt, etc. Defintly looking for private land, not public.

So if anyone has a camp, or wants to put up 2 honest New Yorkers with an addiction to bowhunting, let me know - we can work out some type of deal.

Neither one of us has any land to offer a hunt swap, but we would be willing to pay a little, work a little, bring some new stands and leave them there, a dozen Gold Tip Realtree arrows with wraps, whatever.


This may be far fetched, but I figured we would giver her a try!

Don't let the 130 turn you off - basically, we are just ;looking to hunt with "freinds" out side of New York.

I'd try and put ya up here in a hotspot in Illinois but good luck drawing a tag...its crazy...next year let me know sooner and I can probably hook you up

[hoss]

i think llbux is reasonable on prices its hard to find privet land here in Il. you might give this guy a call his prices are not bad eighter http://spoonriverwoodlands.com/ good luck

[NY911Bowhunter]

Thanks guys.

What is the deal with Illinois no resident tags. i see alot of grumbling on Archery Talk, but havnt read.

[ILBIGBUCKS]

hey hoss where abouts you at in fulton county? I live on the warren fulton border.

If you really want to hunt Ohio, don't overlook the public ground here. The Wayne National Forest is huge. There are places there that you could hunt all week and not see another hunter, and plenty of little towns to stay in.

I'd gladly have you over, but I think you'd get pretty tired of my little 3 acre field out back.

Good luck.

How bout inviting and Okie for either birds or Deer?

Im dieing to hunt another local state but cant seem to make it come together for less then a small fortune.

Who lives in AR or KS that is willing to take pitty on a poor little okie?

[Jeramie]

That would be awesome!

I live in NE Oklahoma... 45 miles NE of Tulsa. The kansas line isnt that far north and the arkansas line is roughly 15-20 miles.

I have never hunted birds. Sad i know. The quail population around here has been on a steady decline for years. Its actually just now starting to pic up. We also dont have pheasant unless you drive up north to the line. I love to eat both so I wouldnt be afraid to take you up on that.

Another thing that kills me is we are bordered between a couple of the largest buck states and my part of the state grows rag horns! I have seen some VERY nice bucks around but they are way few and far between unlike Kansas and Texas.

Let me know when and what you want to hunt. We have plenty of quail and phesants around here. And quite a few deer too!
