Deer Hunting

Deer hunting in Southern Illinois is probably some of the best hunting a hunter can find, as far as quality and consistency in deer management. We have farm fields that have very good fence row cover as well as wooded bottom ground cover. We have very accessible locations to whatever kind of hunt you would enjoy. Hunting may be done in different locations in different ways according to the hunter's needs. You may bring your own deer stand, or we have permanent stands placed in strategic locations. Reservations for the 2011 hunting season need to be made immediately if not sooner!
