Trophy Illinois Whitetail Deer Hunts

 12 pt (176)

Fulton County Illinois is known world wide for record setting trophy Whitetail Deer populations. We own 750 contiguous acres of timbered cropland that provide the textbook habitat.  Our farm has produced many trophy bucks, including a 237 nontypical Whitetail that was featured in Bow Hunter Magazine, (September 2010 Cover and article on page 74). Herd management, genetics, and great habitat combine to produce an excellent opportunity to take a quality trophy. 

 Our deer hunts are designed for experienced bow hunters.  Our booking, the last four years, has been through Illinois Trophy Bowhunters.  For 2011 we are going on our own and are offering a six day bow hunt during the traditionally best week of the rut.  This hunt will be limited to only 8 hunters.  No hunters will hunt this proberty before this 6 day hunt.   We have set aside refuges in the thickest areas of our woods to limit the pressure on the big bucks. These refuges are not disturbed before or during the hunt. The accomodations are in our lodge and meals are provided.

This deer hunt is designed for the acomplished bow hunter wanting to take a World Class Deer.  Each hunter will have an area to hunt.  These areas will have stands set ready for the hunter on arrival.  Each hunter is encouraged to bring a stand of his choosing to set in his area.  Deer Harvest is limited to a 140 total inch deer and larger.  This farm has excellent genetics and and has been managed for quality deer for 15 years. 

Spring Wild Turkey Hunts

   The timbered Cropland of Fulton County provides excellent habitat for large wild turkey flocks. Approximately half of our 750 contiguous acres are timbered with steep hardwood ridges and deep valleys.  In the Fall, during bow season, you can combine a deer hunt with a turkey hunt (bow or shotgun).  Relax in the Lodge or individual Cabin after an awesome hunt billy-goating up and down ridges chasing flocks of turkeys.

Shooting Preserve Upland Bird Hunts

   Come work your own dog or experience a guided hunt using champion dogs, in great cover designed to remind sportsmen of the "Good old Days."  Hunts for Pheasant, Quail, and Chucker are available September through April with reservation.  Our typical hunt in Logan County begins at our Clubhouse located on Salt Creek.  After signing in and picking your field, hunters can relax in the heated clubhouse and share stories of their recent adventures, or sharpen their skills by shooting some clays.

   Corporate hunts with wild game meals are available. In Fulton County, overnight stays are available for large and small groups.  Consider our Lodge with conference room for your educational seminar or corporate retreat

Dove Hunting

We look forward to September to open the hunting season with the traditional migration of doves through Central Illinois.  Our Sunflower field next to our pond and adjacent to Salt Creek attracts many doves.  Opening day is usually invitation only and celebrated with a "shore lunch" at noon.
