BackwoodsWhitetails

Backwoods Whitetails is a state licensed taxidermist and outfitter that is owned and
operated by experienced whitetail deer and turkey hunters. We are a small and steadily
growing family owned business that is dedicated to improving your hunting adventures
year after year. Backwoods Whitetails currently has close to 5000 acres of locally leased
private farmland and we are continually adding new properties each year. On some of the
properties, we have planted food plots designed specifically with the whitetail deer and the
wild turkey in mind. All other properties are basic farmlands with a variety of terrain from
hardwood ridges, CRP fields to river bottoms. 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 and you can view some of these photo's by clicking here on trail
cam photo's. We currently 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 their hunting sites in the spring (free of charge) and move on their own, while
hunting, to succeed. We feel this gives our hunters an extra edge and helps to ensure fresh
stands during the highest level of Illinois whitetail rutting activity with the confidence that
a hunter needs to stay in the stand to succeed. All whitetails are 100% wild and free
roaming and are pursued by 100% fair chase. We have NO trophy fines, NO trophy fees
and NO Antler minimums. With a high opportunity rates, high success rates, great food,
good people and a relaxing atmosphere, hunters can count on a having a great time while
hunting with Backwoods Whitetails. No hunter is guaranteed a trophy, but with strong
scent control practices, combined with the patience and willingness to sit all day, you'll
soon understand why Backwoods Whitetails isn't just another outfitter. So, if you want to
