I’m a 52yr old dad of 3 boys ages 26,23&15yr old boys. My youngest son has taken up hunting and has the passion I have. Or should I say passion I used to have. He (Dawson) has the deer hunting passion I had. Before my health took my job and my ability to get around in the woods.Not only my health but what used to pretty simple to pickup a place to hunt.Not now most land owners will let you lease the hunting rights. Being on disability now. I can’t afford to lease ground to hunt. We managed to get permission on small parcel of ground.Its just not got enough deer traffic. I would love to win a give away hunt. My son would be so excited . I’ve taken him to that small parcel and put him in the stand so many times.He sets patiently only to not see a deer. I would love to go hunting with him and watch when a deer goes right underneath the stand he’s in just to see the excitement in his face. As a hunter he’s yet to have experienced that. I would be so appreciative to have been able to have spent 5 days doing something we both love.We would not only bond closer but would build valuable memories to have. I’m not always going to be around. So to give him memories like a 5 day hunt would be a dream come true.I Thank you for giving me the opportunity to win a deer hunt for us. Thank You! Matt Sherwood
I love hurting
Is there a daily rate available?
I’ve always wanted to do a hunt in Pike County Illinois. I started hunting whitetails when I was 6. 50 straight hunts on public and private lands in Michigan. I only take 10pts or better minimum 51/2-61/2 year Olds. Old does that have stopped dropping little ones. I hope you all have a great 2024 season. Thank you 🏹🦌🏹💯❤️
Is there anymore fees. If we come down for now. On the 4 of October.
