Itinerary

...we want you to enjoy your time here
as well as harvest a trophy.

Arrival time is 10:00 a.m. to noon the day before the scheduled date of your hunt, preferably before noon, no exceptions made. Upon your arrival, you will be shown to your rooms and given a tour of the facilities. Your guide will then take you to the property where that trophy whitetail or turkey eats, sleeps and breathes!

He will show you to a few of the treestands or blind locations that you will be hunting from in the following days and give you his advice on what he believes to be the best place for you to harvest a big Illinois buck or longbeard. Please ask as many questions as you would like; we want you to be fully aware of and comfortable in your surroundings.

After you have seen the area you will then come back to the lodge and shoot your bow and get ready for the next day’s hunt.

A typical full day deer hunt...
A typical full day deer hunt starts before daylight-exact times vary depending on the length of travel to the farm you are hunting. If you are comfortable in the area and know how to get to your stand we will let you go on your own from a drop-off point. This way puts less pressure and impact on the land and deer; however, we will be happy to escort you to your stand if needed. All trails will be marked for easy visibility. If you have driven your own vehicle or a rented one you will drive yourself to the drop-off point so you may come and go as you please. The end of the day comes one ½ hour after sun down. Your guide will be waiting for you at the drop-off point or lodge, which ever you and the guide have arranged. We can then put together a plan for the next day. We greatly encourage all hunters to sit all day during your hunt. This will increase your odds of harvesting a trophy white tail as much as sixty percent.

A typical turkey hunt...
A typical turkey hunt will start early in the morning as well and last through noon. All turkey hunts are on a 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 basis. Be prepared to cover some land, as these majestic birds like to travel through the big hardwoods. Your guide will put you on top of some of the most exciting turkey hunting around. These birds like to gobble and will get right up close and personal. As you can see we will try to build this hunting experience around your wants and needs as much as we can.
