...75% of our lands have never been outfitted before
and offer spectacular hunting opportunities.

Making Plans - TQOLodging/Amenities

Our lodging facilities are located in the middle of premier whitetail and turkey hunting. The main Lodge is fully equipped with a large kitchen, dining room, and full basement rec room complete with a pool table, poker table, and flat screen tv with satellite.

Four cabins that include bunk beds to sleep four, full bathroom, microwave, refridgerator, and loft storage area insure our hunters comfort and personal space. Our lodge and cabins are located approximately 12 miles south of Quincy, Illinois. Quincy is a city of 40,000 people and offers two movie theatres, numerous restaurants and stores including Super Wal-Mart and GameMasters sporting goods.

All meals are included in the hunt price starting with supper on the day of your arrival and ending with breakfast on the day of your departure. Breakfast is continental with a nice assortment of items such as fruit, cereal, toast, granola bars, instant oatmeal, doughnuts or some kind of yummy homemade goody. We encourage our hunters to sit all day if possible and will pack a sack lunch (sandwich, dessert, chips, and your choice of fruit). However, for those of you not quite tough enough to sit it out we provide a hot lunch consisting of homemade soup, sandwiches, etc. Suppers range from meatloaf to lasagna to venison stew and are always finished with a delicious homemade dessert. Our kitchen staff aim to please and we are happy to accomodate any special dietary needs if you let us know in advance.

On our premises we have an archery range with 3-D targets so our hunters can refine their skills at making good, clean kill shots. We STRONGLY recommend that anyone who wishes to hunt with us is proficient at making kill shots up to 40 yards.

 

Tags and Licensing

As of the 2005 season, our hunters have to call in to the Illinois DNR or go on their website to apply for tags and licenses. Tags and licenses are given on a lottery basis. Because there is preference given to those non-residents hunting with outfitters, hunters must use our specific outfitter number when they apply. If you do not draw a preference tag, your name will be put into the general lottery for a second chance.

Any deposit (which is defined as ½ your total hunt price) given is nonrefundable. However, if you apply for a tag and do not get drawn at all, your deposit will be rolled over to the next year’s season.

To contact the Illinois DNR you can call them at 1-888-673-7648 or get on their website at www.dnr.state.il.us.
