Illinois Outfitter #1.....
 This lodge is located in West Central Illinois, where they have over 3,000 acres
of privately owned ground available for their hunters to hunt on. This location gives
them a great diversity of hunting areas to pick from. From the Illinois River bottoms
to the timbered bluffs, they have some of the finest deer hunting anywhere in Illinois.
They offer archery, shotgun and muzzleloader hunts. Their archery hunts are semi guided and are 5 day hunts, from Oct. through Nov.
Their shotgun hunts are 3 days in November and also a 4 day hunt in December. Muzzleloader will be a 3 day hunt in December also. All their hunts include, lodging with home cooked meals at their newly remodeled hunting lodge. Their
guides will thoroughly familiarize you with your hunting areas and will assist you with your game. Tree stands will be provided, but you may bring one of your own if you wish to.The last season was once again a success. For the archery season 25 hunters harvested 18 bucks with a 150 class buck being the largest. Their first gun season had 22 hunters harvesting16 bucks in a 3 day period with the largest buck being a 200+ class bruiser. None of the bucks harvested
went below 125 class. The second gun season which is always a tougher season had 8 hunters harvesting 4 bucks in
four days with the largest buck scoring 168.

Illinois Outfitter #2.....
 Illinois whitetail hunts located in Edwards and Wayne Counties in Illinois. The outfitter is offering archery, shotgun and muzzleloader hunts.
3,000 prime acres of whitetail habitat have been leased for the 2008 season. The terrain consists of soybean, corn and winter wheat fields alternating with heavily wooded draws, river bottoms and fence rows.
The outfitter's local connections in Illinois, who were born and raised there, have consistently harvested 150 to 200 class bucks in this area. In order to manage the quality of their bucks for the future they have a 130 inch minimum on all hunts. Does may be harvested on the hunts at no additional charge. Part of the overall management plan requires a substantial doe harvest and the outfitter is encouraging you to take a doe during your hunt and vshoot as many coyotes as you can.
 On the archery hunts an emphasis on strict scent management will center around
having multiple stand locations for a hunter to select from based on wind direction,
and rut phase, etc. Under no circumstances will any stand be used more than two
days in any given hunt. The Big bucks will not tolerate repeated activity on any one
stand location. Rubber boots are a requirement for getting in and out of all hunting
areas. The pre-rut and rut weeks in November are hunted during their bow season.
Shotgun and muzzleloader seasons will take place during the post rut periods of
late November and early December.
Comfortable accommodations will be provided in town at either a bed and breakfast or
a new apartment. The outfitter will provide all meals.
The license application is currently on a draw with a deadline in mid-June. Draw success for archery was 100% in 2006
and 2007. Their draw success for their shotgun and their late-season muzzleloader hunts were also 100% for 2007.
Four 2008 archery Nov 3-7 spots have opened up due to cancellation.
Two 2008 ML (Dec 6-8) hunts are available also. Call for info.
