Harpole's Heartland Lodge Hunting Blog

 We have a few spots open during the peak of the rut! These hunts are normally sold out as far as one or two years in advance!

Our preseason scouting has shown that there are a lot of nice bucks out there. We have seen nice bachelor groups with good age structure feeding in the soy bean fields. All the spring rains have made food abundant and antler development ideal.

Last year’s unusual weather allowed many of these bucks to survive the season and age another year. We are seeing a lot of 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 year old bucks.

Deer hunting in Pike or Calhoun County Illinois is as good as it can get for free roaming whitetails. The abundance of food, genetics, and a proper age structure allows the deer to reach their full potential.

Illinois Archery Tags are now on a first come first serve basis. They do have tags available but we don’t know how long they are going to last. So if you are interested in hunting whitetails in Pike or Calhoun Counties Illinois then call us to reserve a deer hunt of a lifetime! 800-717-HUNT(4868). www.Heartlandlodge.com
