Title basically says it. I'd like to find some private land to hunt any or all of:

squirrel
rabbit
chucks
(maybe) 'coons
coyote
fox
(maybe) upland birds
(maybe) waterfowl
(maybe) deer

In about that order of interest. I've also got a couple flyers up at the clubs I shoot at but figured to throw a feeler out here as well.

I currently hunt public lands for mainly squirrels and rabbits but majority of them have the season significantly reduced from the state-wide season. Some are as short as two or three days out of 6 or 7 months.

Ideally like to find someplace within 0 to 4 hours any direction of NW (Lake/McHenry Co). I'd be hunting mostly with 20ga shotgun, .22lr, .17hmr.

If anyone has a spot or could link me up with one, I'm sure we could work something out.
