Whitetail Hunting

This beautiful 174 "Booner" was taken by Harry Blodgett, owner of Blodgett Game Calls.  Harry is a regular on our Trophy Property for the past 3 years.  He has had a 100% success rate killing 150-class deer or better.

Dave from Blodgett Game Calls bagged this typical 154 score buck off of our Trophy Property last year.

All hunters will be taken to the stands in the morning by our guides, but the guide will not sit in the tree with you unless you are being video-taped.  A wounded deer is considered a kill and hunting will not resume until that deer is found.  Archery hunters are only allowed to use fixed-blade broad-heads.  Gun hunters must wear solid orange vest and hat.  All Illinois state laws apply.
 

What to Bring:

--- Your bow or gun

--- Heavy clothing (cover-alls, hat & gloves)

--- Orange vest and hat (gun hunters only)

--- Boots (knee-high rubber boots recommended)

--- Rain gear or waterproof gear

--- Hunting accessories

             (grunt call, rattling rack, binoculars, etc.)

--- Camera

Our tri-county area in Illinois is known as the whitetail capital of the world.  We at Muddy Rivers manage our deer ground to produce monster bucks.  Currently we offer a limited number of archery hunts on our "Trophy" ground.  All hunts are guided and all bucks taken must be 140 class or better.  Bucks taken under 140 will be fined $100 per point under.  Hunters with extra tags are encouraged to harvest a doe at no extra cost.  Standard hunts are available with no minimum score. See our rates page for details.

Walter Parrot of Knight & Hale bagged this impressive 172 "Booner" with his muzzle loader during the first shotgun season of 2003.  The deer weighed close to 300 lbs.  It was caught on film by Chuck Jones and will be airing next year.
