Reading maps is an essential tool for public land hunters and any hunter who explores, scouts, and hunts new areas.
Being able to read and interpret maps can help your hunt and cut your scouting time in half. What do those lines on maps mean? What features do Illinois archery hunters look for when looking through public land maps? We will cover all this and more in this free webinar.
The team goes over what is happening at IL Hunt Camp this year. It is going to be a bigger and better event than ever before. We will be at the St. Charles Sportsman’s Club in Elburn, IL for the first time. This will open up opportunities to try trap shooting and fishing along with all the educational and outreach experiences you have come to expect. Cost is $15 and includes admission, shooting, fishing, food, and chances to win gear and mentored hunts. Oh, and kids are FREE.
Dan and Curtis sit down and interview some of our LtH Ambassadors about their spring turkey hunting seasons. Hear from some new hunters about what they learned as they jump into turkey hunting. Some folks used IRAP, others hunted public land, and one even made the trip to Wisconsin to press his luck on some new ground.
