Guides

While hunting here at Trophy Quest, you will be in the hands of experienced, dedicated guides who love hunting as much as you do.

Your guides will be constantly scouting and working to help you take home your trophy. The guides that we employ have, all together, 30+ years of knowledge and experience in the hunting industry. Your guide will put you in areas where he has sighted the most activity in recent days. While deer hunting your guide will be the one who tracks your deer and will be responsible for the removal of the deer after it is found. (If your Taxidermist has special instructions on how he or she would like the animal caped please bring that information with you and share that with your guide.)

We assure you that your guide will do everything possible within the parameters of the law to get you that shot at a trophy whitetail or gobbling longbeard. But remember one thing, this is fair chase hunting, and Mother Nature gives us no guarantees!! Your input is greatly appreciated and we encourage you to tell us what areas you would like to hunt in mornings or evenings, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you in this way. We ask that all hunters listen to what their guides have to say and abide by all hunting regulations set by the Illinois DNR, as well as Trophy Quest Outfitters.

Stands and Stand Placement

Here at Trophy Quest we have provided our hunters with what we consider to be the safest and most comfortable stands on the market.

All stands are set long before the season starts on properties that have been scouted all year long. From these stands, you will have ample opportunity to shoot in most directions needed to make an accurate shot at your trophy buck. We believe in minimal limbing which offers our hunters more cover in a natural environment, less impact on the surroundings, and better quality hunts. All of our stands are set at heights ranging from 14’ to 24’ depending on the topography of the area. We feel we have set the standard in the outfitting industry by placing multiple stands in one core area or trail. This allows hunters to sit in the same area no matter what the wind direction or how often it changes.

Our hunters’ safety is our number one concern. We require all hunters to wear a safety harness at all times while in the treestand. If you forget to bring one or do not have one, a harness will be provided for the duration of your hunt.
