These hunts are designed to help harvest ours does in the late season, yet you are still able to take a shooter buck if one presents itself.  Meals, lodging, and guide services are all included with this hunt.  Hunting dates are start Dec 16 and run till the end of the season.  THese hunts are a great time to relax in the woods and come check out what we are all about.  Feel free to contact us if you are interested in one of these hunts.

The weather couldn’t have been any better for the opening week of the Illinois archery season.  Here in camp we had a great start with a lot of familiar faces in camp and a couple new ones mixed in.  Our largest buck taken that week was a 134″ 9 point taken by Cliff Chavez for Tallahassee, FL.  

Man has the days been inching by or what?  One week before the archery season opens up here in Pike Co. Illinois.  I know I have had a lot of restless nights in anticipation for this upcoming season.  I imagine I am not the only one.  I am looking forward to having a full camp of deer hunters and hearing their stories around the buck pole.  Good luck to all who venture out into the woods this fall and stay in touch, I want to hear all of your hunting stories.
