I have private farms that have been in QDM 140 plus programs for seven plus years in Pike County Illinois and am looking to swap a fully guided archery or firearms (shotgun slug or black powder) hunt with lodging and meals for a similar high quality trophy Axis crossbow deer hunt.

My properties are farmed and professionally managed by Hadley Creek Outfitters (www.hadleycreek.com) but hunted exclusively by myself and my family only. Farms have food plots and professionally hung stands and blinds. Archery hunt would be six days 2015 early season or rut. If firearm it would also be 2015 for one of Illinois three or four day firearms seasons. Hunt would be for a 140 or better buck (gross). If unsuccessful, I'd allow you to return for a second hunt either in 2015 or 2016. I'd expect the same quality and courtesy on the Axis hunt.

Trail cam photos and more info upon request. jmarkjudyg@gmail.com Thanks.

Wish I had some axis on my place to trade you. I've got whitetail, turkey and unlimited hogs.
