    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    They are most likely targeting folks that inherited the land and don't know what to do with it, and don't realize the value. It will be interesting to see if we have another 1980s event. Just imagine the kids growing up today. They won't even be able to buy 10 acres.

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    Land prices continue to climb in all places I'm looking. It also seems like a lot of pieces are getting split up in smaller pieces, which is unfortunate. Its quite depressing to see your spending power get deminished.

    attracting turkeys / creating strut zones

    I put in about 5 acres of clover plots this spring and the turkeys still avoided them. My fields have been thick crp, which only hens seem to like. I'm going to try and burn my 20 acre crp field next year to see if that helps.

    Open Fields Doctrine

    In Illinois the game wardens can pretty much search your property with out any warrant.I guess it's so they can actually catch poachers as it would be difficult to do without it. The whole surveillance with cameras is taking it a little to far. Also when does it become harassment. I'd be upset...

    Raccoon trapping

    Having a raccoon season makes no sense to me. I think it should be year round.

    attracting turkeys / creating strut zones

    I'm at the end of day four turkey hunting, and I can't for the life of me pull in a tom. My place has a lot of crp, but I recently added 4 different plots totaling 5 acres of clover.
