BackwoodsWhitetails

Backwoods Whitetails is a state licensed outfitter and taxidermist that is owned and
operated by experienced whitetail deer and turkey hunters. We are a small but steadily
growing family owned business that is dedicated to improving your hunting adventures
year after year. Backwoods Whitetails currently has close to 6000 acres of locally leased
private farmland and we are continually adding new properties each year. On some of our
properties, we have food plots designed specifically for the whitetail deer and the wild
turkey. All other properties are basic farmlands with a variety of terrain from hardwood
ridges, CRP fields, river bottoms open fields with grassy draws, etc. Each property has an
abundance of grain crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, clover, CRP plots and
alfalfa fields. Each property is unique in it's own way and has proven its ability to produce
trophy whitetails. Each property is monitored throughout the year with trail camera's to
help ensure the presence of whitetail deer. You can view some of these photo's by clicking
here on trail cam photo's. We only take a limited number of Archery and Shotgun hunters
each year to help increase hunter success and limit the negative effects of over hunting.
The best benefit of hunting with Backwoods Whitetails is that our hunts are scheduled
during the major weeks of the peak rutting period for whitetails. Hunters are allowed to
scout and shed hunt their hunting sites in the spring free of charge. We feel this gives our
hunters that extra edge and helps to ensure that they spend more time hunting during the
rut. So with a fresh stand during the highest level of Illinois whitetail rutting activity,
combined with the confidence that a hunter needs to stay in the stand. Hunters are sure to
succeed. All whitetails are 100% wild and free roaming and are pursued by 100% fair
chase. All hunters are allowed to move on their own to succeed, but still have the full
assistance of a guide. We have NO trophy fines, NO trophy fees and NO Antler minimums.
