Dont hunt there but i do hunt Marion wayne and Jefferson in Illinois. I have heard a lot about pike but that's kinda why never been there. I have to deal with the yankee's from Chicago to much were I'm at the way it is.

its true the outfitters are terrible to deal with, especially the crooked ones who dont respect boundaries...but we have seen amazing deer there

but truthfully all of illinois is great for deer and i would argue that its the best along with iowa

Use to hunt just outside of Pittsfield. Hunted there from 1985 to 1998, seen a dramatic change in that era. Seen families break up and friends become enemies, due to the publicity of PIKE due to the television exposure. The hunting pressure became overwhelming and I had seen the future was looking bleak and I left to find greener pastures elsewhere......... Where the almighty dollar wasn't detroying communities and friendships..... That's why I sorta chuckled when I had seen the title of your post,,,,"Gods country Pike county Illinois"....!

Gods Country, what a joke! I in fact know a few people that hunt pike county, you have never been anywhere thatoutfitters and huntersare more rude, and unsafe. Joe Shmoe from Chicago has never shot a deer, and may not have ever seen one. Goes out hunting shooting at everything in site, outfitters dont care, they have his money. Pike County has had large deer harvested. However I think there days may be ending. The more deer they kill and the larger numbers of people looking for their dream, ruin the deer herd. You want to go pay big bucks to hunt pike county, go for it. I think you will be very upset by the end of season.

If Pike Co is God's country, then I don't want to go to heaven. I have land I can hunt between Sunny Hill and Detroit. However, between the outfitter's sucking up every piece of land that has two trees on it and the local that don't want you shooting "their" deer, the entire county is full of a bunch of a-holes. I think it is funny that the Drury boys made their name in Pike and then bailed on the place spread their cancer elsewhere. LOOK OUT IOWA!!!!!

i regret to inform you but...most outfitters have a minimum score that you can harvest a buck, the outfitters within 5 miles from me are bow-only and practice quality deer managment, i dont mean to make outfitters seem like great people, becuasei despise them...but in reality there arent that many terribly run outfitting gigs

im sorry you or your buddies or whomever has had a bad experience but on MY land that I OWN there isnt much better for me

thank you for being open minded
