Gripping report on shooting club land grabs across Henry area
Henry Gun Club leases hundreds of acres along the Illinois River and Lake Senachwine for hunting rights, barring nonmembers from swamps and Town Lake. A second club of 14 members from Henry and nearby towns leases 368 acres near Swan Lake and Bradford slough, building a 16 by 86 foot hunting cabin with sleeping bunks. Undercliff grounds remain leased to Undercliff Sportsman Association, open to the public only in summer, not hunting season. Other clubs north and east, including Goose Pond and Princeton Gun Club, also hold segments, making duck hunting access scarce. An advertising note for One Minute Cough Cure concludes the item.
