My hubby has been talking about needing to find some private property to hunt in IL. How would he go about doing this? How can he find more places to hunt?How do you find private hunting property?
You are better off to ask for permission in person as opposed to the phone or computer. Dress respectfully, speak intelligently, and act confidently. If told no continue to be polite as he may change his mind, tell you someone that will allow you to hunt, or know the next person on your list.





People seem to be more apt to allow bow hunters over gun hunters. So if you can get in as a bow hunter and prove yourself, you may be able to get in for gun.How do you find private hunting property?
It is getting tougher and tougher to find ground to hunt.The way I do it is look in the newest plat book find the plat that I would like to hunt and get the land owners name and call them or go see them in person to ask them.The second part always seems to work best.Be ready for a lot of the land owners to say no but some do still say YES. GOOD luck at finding ground to hunt.
first drive 'till you find an area you want to hunt. and start asking the home owners for permission. check out road maps, topo's, and aerials for a better area to hunt.
