Trophy Bowhunting at Illinois Wildlife Connections.
Good nutrition and genetics combined with a little age is the key to Illinois trophy whitetail bucks. Illinois is one of the few states that can produce record book animals through the entire state. For Pope & Young bucks per square mile, Illinois leads the pack.
Combine corn, soybean, wheat, clover, and CRP fields with brushy creek bottoms and hardwood hills and you have an archery hunters paradise. We only offer bow hunts on our managed lands.
Our opportunity rate for the past 4years on a 120 inch buck or better at 40 yards or less is 80%. We live and work the habitat year round so we know the patterns and habits of the deer.
Each hunter is generally given a farm or area to hunt during his or her trip. The area will have several stands in place ready to hunt depending on phase of the rut, time of day, and wind direction. Hunters are allowed to bring a climber to be more versatile. We will have additional stands ready to hang throughout the hunt if needed. Each hunter is allowed to take 1 doe and 1 buck. We do ask that the buck be a respectable deer, 125 inches or better.
All of our land is archery only and has been under Quality Deer Management for years. If you are looking for an honest fair chase Illinois Whitetail deer hunt at a reasonable price give us a try.
