November 16, 20223 yr Shotgun season starts here in Illinois Nov 19-20th, then Dec 1-4th Be nice to be outside and hoping to get a trophy buck!!
November 28, 20223 yr It's too crazy expensive in Texas. Guys think I'm lying when I tell them a friendly farmer in Illinois just give permission in exchange for some meat. Plus up north the deer have been eating free corn all fall. Here it's $3,000+ for a decent lease plus buying and hauling corn and filling feeders. My daughter and son in law fill my freezer from their deer lease when I ask.

This is the last weekend for deer in Illinois w shotgun, so the heats on! Yes its expensive, add the meat processing and it goes even higher. Fishing seems cheaper

December 2, 20223 yr Haven't hunted in over a decade. I loved hunting with my dad, but since he passed and most of the people that I hunted with have either passed or moved away, it just doesn't have the same draw anymore. However, I am still willing to eat any jerky made from it. My dad used to have a coworker from Sierra Leone that he'd gift a deer to, and we'd get habanero jerky as some of the thanks for it.....that stuff was f'n delicious.

My Dad and I did the male bonding thing and made it a tradition to go out hunting small game on T day morning, considering I was usually nursing a hangover, prob not the best idea....
