Our affordable whitetail hunting is conducted on a few thousand acres of private leased farms in some of Illinois best deer hunting territory. Though Backwoods is a just a small town mom & pop guide service. We are not just the typical seasonal hunting operation that only operates during the fall. We are frequently visiting, scouting and always improving our Illinois Leases year round to help create the best whitetail deer hunting experience possible. Although we do not match the specific needs for each & every style of hunter. Our reputation precedes itself as one of the best whitetail deer hunting lodges & outfitters still operating in Illinois. It is our personal goal for each of our hunters to have 100% satisfying experience while at our hunting camp. Compared against other whitetail deer hunting lodges & outfitters, we feel that our Illinois whitetail guide service is amongst the finest in the state of Illinois. The main things that we feel sets our whitetail hunts apart from others outfitters is "there are no antler restrictions or antler minimums while hunting at Backwoods Whitetails". Therefore hunters can actually relax during their hunts knowing that they are free to harvest any buck of their choosing without the worry of being imposed with those ridiculous hunting fines & trophy fee's. Each hunter and/or group of hunters will be hunting your own exclusive private farms for the duration of their hunt. Each farm is complete with preset tree stands, the assistance from a lifetime resident guide, current trail cam pictures and the total freedom to move on your own to hunt the farm as you so choose. While looking for a whitetail deer hunting outfitter. Remember that there are many hunting outfitters, not all are honest, not all will have your best of intentions in mind and not all outfitters will be tailor made to fit for your specific needs in a whitetail hunting trip. Be thorough in your research to make sure you are exhausting every effort to find the right camp, the right hunt and the right experience "FOR YOU". If this is your first trip to the mid west hunting whitetails. Then you will not know that "management programs are just a sales gimmick" used to encourage you to believe that the whitetails living in a 100% wild & free roaming atmosphere, are only available to be harvested by that outfitters hunters. Well, we want our hunters to know upfront that we personally feel it is a dishonest practice to impose a fine upon a hunt and/or a hunter for harvesting a deer that is 100% wild, not the sole property of the outfitter and that would be free for the taking to any neighboring hunter. Remember that the threat of being fined for a deer that is deemed "only by the outfitter" as an inferior animal, does not & will not stop the deer from freely crossing onto a neighboring property, nor is that fine being imposed upon any of the neighboring hunters in the event that they choose to harvest that animal. All trophy fine's go straight into the outfitters wallet where it will never continue the spreading of a whitetails genetics. Trophy fines paid will not bring the deer back to life nor does it make other bucks bigger. Although it is our hopes that all of our hunters experience and harvest nothing but biggest of mature bucks. We personally feel that hunting is an individual sport where each hunter has the privilege of exercising their own views & opinions as to what is a trophy and what has made their hunt a success. At Backwoods Whitetails we hope to educate & assist hunters to achieve success, share hunting experiences, share good time and make good friends eating good food. Our goal is to be the place where the guides are honest, the hunting is real and memories will always and forever matter more than the score. Hunters can choose from several types of hunts here at Backwoods. We offer one 7 day archery pre rut hunt during the first week of October for those who like to hunt whitetail bucks that are not in a peak rut stage.
