Hunting At Sunny Slope Hunt Club

Description

Sunny Slope Hunt Club began in 2001 with a goal to provide hunting like sportsmen experienced "in the day." Over the years the populations has declined with the "advances of farming practices." The liability climate changed the attitudes of many landowners and it became difficult to obtain permission to hunt what cover was left. Many of us became frustrated with this hunting experience. I was taken as a guest to a pay to hunt place. I never thought I would like it but, I got the fever back and remembered what it was like to see a good dog lock up on a bird. As my children came of age I decided I wanted them to experience the feeling my father shared with me as we "limited out" after preparing and looking forward to the hunt. Putting pen raised birds in narrow strips of cover was not much like the old days. So, my wife and I decided to make the cover large and as close as possible to the native cover hunters experienced in central Illinois in the 1970's. We shopped around to find birds that acted like wild birds. In 2004 we opened Sunny Slope Lodge and Cabin near Ipava.
