People in Illinois who don’t fish or hunt aren’t likely to be as disturbed as the rest of us about the state handing over Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area.
That’s because they haven’t invested the time and money we have. Time is emotional and personal, be is somewhat superficial. Thousands of Illinois anglers spend, and have spent, hours on Shabbona Lake. Same goes for hunters who walk, and have walked, the acreage open to deer, duck, and dove hunting.
