Buyers BEWARE!!! I joined HSP early this year. Living in Illinois, I thought the club was a perfect fit for my son and I to have some nice Illinois land to hunt for this coming deer season. We paid for our first and last year of a long term membership ($2200) total. 2 weeks before the 1st shotgun season, we were notified that the HSP land in Illinois would be unavailable to hunt! Aparently HSP did not follow protocol for secure the land, and the state and federal government have raided their business. From what i understand, HSP's office was issued a search warrant and all their computer's, files, etc. were taken. HSP failed to follow Illinois law on the outfitters license and they are paying the price....well actually the Illinois hunter's are paying the price. I have spoken with the owner of HSP (Daryll) on more than one occasion, and have gotten nothing but the run around. They have yet to refund my money for a membership that cannot be used in the state we expected to use it in. And 2 weeks BEFORE shotgun season?!! They have offered no resolution, and have ignored multiple phone calls and emails. I understand things happen, but their negligence on this matter has cost my son and I an entire year of hunting, and more than 2 thousand dollars with no resolution in sight. I would steer FAR clear of HSP if you are remotely thinking about joing this club......BUYER BEWARE!
