Ohio River Outfitters offers trophy whitetail deer hunting
in the heart of Illinois deer hunting country. Located along the
Ohio River, our property has some of the richest agricultural
land in Southern Illinois. Add our numerous food plots of
Tecomate and Mossy Oak Biologic, and this high quality food
source, intermixed with the rolling hardwood forests, provide
some of the best whitetail habitat Illinois has to offer. Most
of our deer hunts take place in Hardin County, which is the most
rural and least populated county in Illinois. Our outfitting
service was the first in the area to manage for world class
whitetails. A Quality Deer Management system has been in effect
for the past 11 years. The time and effort put into managing for
trophy class whitetails has more than paid off for our clients.
That is why we offer the best chance to harvest a trophy class
whitetail in the state of Illinois.
An extremely nutritional food source of corn, soybeans, alfalfa,
clovers, and acorns along with our numerous food plots, provide
the nutrients whitetails need to reach trophy class standards.
Ohio River Outfitter property is roughly 65% hardwood
ridges, river bottoms, and swamps with the other 35% in
agricultural fields and high nutritional food plots. We take
pride in or family owned property and know that the key to
growing monster bucks has four factors: good food, good habitat,
good genetics, and good age structure. All four of these factors
have been met on Ohio River Outfitter properties. With 9,300
acres of great habitat, whitetails are able to thrive and reach
maturity. |
