We will only offer one archery hunt during the first week of the </div> <div> prime rut. In addition, only 4 hunters will be booked for the week.</div> <bR> <div> Approximately 3,000 prime acres of whitetail habitat have been leased for the 2009 </div> <div> season. The terrain on this hunt consists of soybean, corn and winter wheat fields, alternating with heavily wooded draws, river bottoms and fence rows. The habitat </div> <div> is exceptional and the number and quality of the deer is as good as it gets..</div> <bR> <bR> <div> The best way to hunt Illinois is with climbers. Hunters who bring their own climbers will have the maximum versatility </div> <div> when it comes to stand locations. They will provide you with more stand locations than you can hunt. They also use </div> <div> lock on stands with climbing sticks and 15 or 20-foot ladder stands. Stand locations are placed with certain wind directions in mind, so having 50 stand locations to choose from doesn't force you into using good stands under less </div> <div> than perfect wind conditions.</div> <bR> <div> In order to manage the quality of the bucks for the future, there will be a 130-inch minimum on all hunts. Does may </div> <div> be harvested on this hunt at no extra charge. </div> <bR> <div> Emphasis on scent management will center around having multiple stand locations for each hunter to select from </div> <div> based on wind direction, rut phase, etc. Under no circumstance will any stand be used more than 2 days on any </div> <div> given hunt. The big bucks will not tolerate repeated activity on a stand location. Rubber boots are required for going </div> <div> in and out of hunting areas. </div> <bR> <div> The buck pictured below was taken during the 2008 archery season. It gross-scored 197 inches. It was the best deer </div> <div> taken in the past three years<I>. </I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><IMG SRC="171e50a40.jpg" border=0 width="336" height="420" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="171f3aa30.jpg" border=0 width="314" height="419" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <bR> <div> The Illinois license application is currently on a draw with a deadline in mid-June.

They have both lived there their entire lives and know not only the country, but most importantly, how to bow hunt whitetails. </div> <div> They have combined to harvest 6 bucks over 180 inches in the last 7 years! </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Fantastic accommodations will be provided at a bed and breakfast.
