Illinois/southeastern Wisconsin roll call?

[arubino19]

Hey all so I’m in Naperville, is there anyone that has a farm or access to a farm within a few hours of me where we can do some pesting? I get the occasional sparrow and starling in my backyard but looking for a place I can really get business done.

I'm in Palos and would love to connect with someone who has a farm to pest at as well. Unfortunately, it seems demand far exceeds supply. Im in a town home, so zero opportunity to even take discrete pesting shots in the backyard.

West Central IL checking in…looking for that same farm. . I live in farm country but I don’t own any of it, I’m an import….

Gurnee here looking for same farm. My network does not contain people that know about these things.

I drove that way in May from Montana and it is mind boggling how the metro of Chicago actually reaches. Too many people for me. I stayed at nice state campsite just south of Madison.

20+ years ago I was ready to jump the fence and escape, but some blonde chick grabbed and married me.

I do have her convinced that we need to get out of here. It’s 5-10 years out.

Moved to the Chicago burbs three years ago due to a redheaded chick, from a small Utah town. I miss the mountains and lack of regulations!

Lived in Chicago for 42 years, in Illinois for 59 years. Finally escaped in 2015, first to MO, now to CO. Glad I left. Only way I'd go back is if I only had 6 months to live.

I'm near Edwardsville.
I'm an import too, also surrounded by farms.
I guess I need to step out of my comfort zone and start knocking on doors to ask if they want free pest services.

Ahhh yes, they steal your dreams and pay you with regret. Or was that the children that did that?

No, just kidding, I wouldn't trade her for a Daystate.
Although if I bought one today it would be like a trade. And I am sure this post would be referenced at her arraignment.

Great to see some Illinois people! I created a Facebook group called Illinois Airgun Authority, join up if you desire. Maybe we can build ourselves a community. If you’re an FX Airguns enthusiast, I also have a pretty successful group called FX Airguns Setup Sharing and Learning.

"need to step out of my comfort zone and start knocking on doors to ask if they want free pest services."

This is what i would advise, stress it is low power and just pellets , as most people think BB,guns and it is low power , much lower that a .22LR

Yes indeed, good to see more people. Thanks for the offer arubino, but do not do the book of faces.
Pesting or not, it would be nice to find a place to shoot, without going to an actual range.
