Trophy Bowhunting | Illinois Deer Hunting

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. 

Land: Combine corn, soybean, wheat, clover, and CRP fields with brushy creek bottoms and hardwood hills and you have an archery hunters paradise. 90% of our land is archery only.   We do offer shotgun or muzzleloader hunts on certain farms.

Harvest Opportunities: Our opportunity rate for the past 8 years on a 125 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 allowed to take 1 buck. We do ask that the buck be at least 125 inches or better and be a mature buck.  All of our farms are highly managed and have been under Quality Deer Management for years.

Hunting Area: Each hunter is given several farms or areas to hunt during his or her trip. 

Food Plots: Plots of corn, soybeans, and biologic mixes, are planted on all farms that are accessable with equipment to do so.  These plots will hold and attract many deer all season long.

Deer Stands: All farms 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.
