Paradise Adventures with Keith Nunningcamp. Top notch accomadations, food and whitetails. I didn't use them for whtietails but I did for turkey. The whitetails on the wall were amazing and just last year a 200" double droptine was killed by a vehicle at their leases. A class act.

Guide1 that Heartland Lodge is awsome I now am cosidering going there next season. The sucess rates look to be pretty high. Reasonable prices to!

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Another vote for Heartland. Take into consideration that I have not hunted there though...

I work for a food distribution company and about once every two weeks I will make a delivery to Heartland. The place looks like ithas top notch accomodations and all of the people that I have dealt with there are great.

Like I said I can't comment from personal hunting experience, but if I were looking to hunt an outfitter in Illinois I would choose them.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

I can reccomend a great Do It Yourself outfitter in Illinois. I've hunted with him.

He has supreme land in Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio. He meets with you, gives you an aerial and a topo and lets you do all the rest. He's got some great pieces of land, including some in Pike county, Illinois.

But you have to be a do it yourself kind of hunter or you may not get what you are looking for.

his website www.bowhuntingwhitetails.com

www.grandriveroutfitters.com We do pretty good each year.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Iowa Trophy Whitetails is located just south of where I live and they have some of the best hunting ground around here. Judd Cooney owns it and I have talked to him on the phone and he seems to be a nice fella. I think his bowhunts run around $3,500. To much for me to pay but I have some quality ground that I can hunt for free so weigh yer choices.

My dad and I our outfitters out of Macoupin County Illinois. We only take around 25 Bowhunters only a year. check out our website and if you are interested give us a call www.grahamoutdooradventures.com Lodging and everything that you need less your clothes and hunting gear is all on the property

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

The only problem with Iowa is that as a non-resident you're looking at about 3 years wait to get an archery tag. Keeps the deer hunting great, but can make it somewhat difficult to plan/book a hunt with an outfitter. Especially if you want to plan one for next year.

As dukemichaels said - if you're looking for a reasonably priced do-it-yourself type hunt on top quality properties here in IL check out www.bowhuntingwhitetails.com It's nice for the guys who want to go on a good out-of-state hunt and have some freedom to scout and hunt the way they like.

If you're looking for a fully guided hunt with great lodging, food, and 20,000 acres of land check out www.illinoisdeerhunting.com Campbell Illinois Whitetails has some amazing deer and for the amount of land they have it barely gets pressured at all. Their accomodations are top notch, service is great, guides are great, and most importantly their properties are great. I fully intend on going back next year as I was super impressed with my experience this fall. (We're in the process of building them a new website right now, so check back in a week or so for more photos and some better info)

Check out Honey Creek Outfitters in North Missouri. Over 5000 acres of private land. Go to www.honeycreekoutfitters.com and/or call Kevin Harris @ 660-359-5607 or 816-835-2001.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Forget about Heartland Lodge. I have been there and it was terrible. The accomadations are wonderful, but the success rate was a farce. There were 15 hunters in camp with us and one hunter took a shot and didn't recover his buck. Myself, my father-in-law and my friend saw a total of 9 does in 5 days. The guides were young and inexperienced and my guide in particular didn't want to work at all. The owner of the place graced us with his presence one night of the hunt, and this is no joke, wearing a silk house robe like Hue Hefner. All was blamed on the weather and they would not back it up with any returns. The place is a joke.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

i've considered taking my boys on a guided hunt somewhere in the lower midwest when they get a bit older and are able to pull back enough lb-age to make it legal... figure thats another 5 yrs off for the oldest (he's just turning 7), but best to start plannin now i think... any other advice someone could give about it???

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Very interesting.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

If you do go on an outfitted hunt, have reasonable expectations. There won't be a booner standig behind every tree and the outfitter can try his hardest, but you may have a poor hunt because of the animals....not him.

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Yeah, Wyoming Antelope hunt.

I took my boy last year, and it was a blast. A heck of a lot cheaper than what these guys are getting for a whitetail too! Seen probably 100 antelope per day. We rifle hunted so I'm certain it would be tougher with a bow!

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

Reccomendations??? which outfitter did you use??? my oldest is infatuated with da 'lopes... i have no reason why though... probably cuz there aren't any around here...

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

If you're looking for an archery antelope hunt call Scott & Angie Denny with Table Mountain Outfitters. They go close to 100% on archery antelope almost every year, with the majority of them being P&Y caliber. Their website is http://www.huntingwyoming.com

RE: OUTFITTER hunts
 

I've been twice the last two years with Illinois Connection they have land in pike brown and adams county, and have been very happy with the whole hunt. I took a 130" ten point last year and didn't kill this year but had opportunities at 130" deer just waiting for something a little bigger. The guides and owner are great and work hard for you. The logde and food is very nice and the property they have to hunt is covered up with very nice deer. One of the guys in camp with us this year killed a 195" monster and they have killed several 160" 170" deer since I was there this year. His website is Illinois bowhunting.com sorry don't know how to make it a link.
