A friend and I would like to take a hog each. We're in Northern Illinois. We have our rifles ready to go. We're not looking to hunt on public land, by ourselves, while staying at a Ramada Inn. We'd like more of a lodge/private hunting kind of place. We're looking for the following:
A reasonable drive from Northern Illinois.
Lodging and food. We'd like to arrive late afternoon or early evening and check into a room with our gear and have dinner. After a good night's sleep, we'd like to wake up and hunt for a hog (just one each). Maybe 1 or 2 more nights for a total of 2 or 3 before we drive back home. We're not necessarily looking to hunt with dogs, we'd prefer to be able to either walk to find the hogs or wait for them to come within our range.
After a photo with our hogs and guns, we'd like a bit of bacon and some pork chops that could be taken or shipped home.
We'd like the trophy heads mounted and then shipped to our homes.
Michigan? Ohio? Missouri? Iowa? Kentucky? Indiana? Tennessee? Somewhere in Illinois that I haven't found via Google?
I'd like to hear suggestions, especially if you've already stayed there and found the hospitality to be great.
