Welcome to AH, enjoy the forum.
 
Hello and welcome!
 
My in-laws used to live in southwestern Illinois. It was a great area except for the control of the state by pols from Chicago. Welcome to AH.
 
Welcome to AH! Have fun planning!
 
Hi I'm Woody from Illinois. Thanks for having me. I've not yet been to Africa but I want to in a few years when my son is old enough to hunt. We mostly go turkey/ waterfowl hunting now. And I have a few pig hunts lined up for this year also.

Welcome to AH, Woody!
Please, don't exaggerate tour problems. If declare that Illinois is a Communist republic, whta can say a poor European (or, worst, a Brit) about her/his Country?
You can possess as many guns as you like, handguns are not forbidden and I may continue for ages.
In France and Britain private shooters and hunters are forbidden to posses pistols. In Europe the max gage for shotguns is 12 , i.e. 10 ga. is forbidden.
Look for some other shoulder to weep on, as ours are wet and aching for humidity.

Exactly why our ancestors left Europe. That attitude of control that you live under.

I don’t think Illinois is bad at all. Especially if you are away from the liberals(Chicago).
It certainly has its flaws, but it’s my home.
The gun laws are pretty relaxed, (away from Cook County) suppressors being illegal is the big one.
Taxes are somewhat high, but not terribly considering some things are not taxed.
Vehicles do not need to be inspected to be road legally. This leads to lots of dual strait pipe exhausts on 25 year old trucks for high schoolers.
Hunting is cheap for the locals.
Rednecks are easy to find.
It’s a good place.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
