Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts

Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts is located in the southernmost part of Illinois in the fertile Ohio River Bottoms, also known as the Deer Capital of Illinois. We offer the ideal environment for harvesting trophy Illinois whitetail deer. The natural make-up of our land coupled with the extensive time and effort put into enhancing our property provides you with the best trophy Illinois deer hunting opportunity.

We have almost 11,000 acres of private land consisting of crop lands, white-oak acorn forests, swamps and sloughs around the old Ohio River bottoms. In addition, a fertile soil has allowed us to produce rich food plots creating a sanctuary for reclusive monster bucks. A multitude of secret food plot mixes are interspersed throughout our properties which serve to maintain and enhance our big buck population.

E 240" Buck killed just down the road from us by Billy Joe Austin, and was featured in North American Whitetail Magazine.

We have implemented a Trophy Management plan where we are letting the young bucks go and only trying to take the 3.5 and older bucks. We have set a management fee if you shoot a buck that scores less than 130"s gross Pope and Young. We keep track of some of our bucks with 20+ trail cams in the woods getting us new pictures of our bucks year round.

Our area has produced bucks scoring up to 209". Typical 250+" Non Typical Boone and Crockett. Only Pope and Young bucks scoring 130" and bigger may be taken which allows for optimal maturation of bucks.

We have up to 300 or more ladder and lock-on stands strategically placed. A successful hunt hinges on experienced guides who can pinpoint a buck's travel pattern. Our guides have grown up in the area and watched these big buck hot spots all of their lives!

We guarantee the work ethic and dedication required to provide you with the hunt of a life time. We have many of the hunters come for 7 and 8 years straight.  We want you and your buddies to become family with us and hunt together year after year.  Our hunters are not only impressed with the huge whitetail deer on our land but also the extraordinary quality and management of our food plots.
