Looking to hunt for a few days to a week this year somewhere in the midwest. Never done this before and would be me and 3 guys max. May be just me and a buddy. What is the most cost-effective way for me to do this and still have an opportunity at a decent hunt. I'm not picky on a state (Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, etc.) and can hunt bow/muzzleloader/rifle and would prefer not fighting public land guys unless someone has a good recommendation. Not expecting to kill a B&C just looking for a chance at a decent buck. I know this is a longshot but does anyone have any advice, openings, contacts etc. Wouldn't mind leasing a farm for a few days to week at all. Thanks in advance for any who have advice they'd be willing to share.

Pm big game hunter. He can give you all the info you need.

If you go the Illinois route, I can wholeheartedly recommend Brandon Swain with Swain Farms Outfitting. He's a top-notch guy and he's got big deer to chase on his properties. Best of luck with the trip.

Check out Baycreek Outdoors. Dean Ottwell. Pike county Illinois.
He might have a archery hunt and you won't find a better price.

thx guys I will definitely check into these. I don't mind going out on my own, actually prefer it as i'm sure it can save me some cash.
