October Big Buck - 2008
  Monster Buck Still Out There For 2009!


Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts is located in the southernmost part of Illinois in the fertile Ohio River Bottoms, also known as the deer capital of Illinois. We offer the ideal environment for harvesting trophy Whitetails. The natural make-up of our land coupled with the extensive time and effort put into enhancing our property provides you with the best trophy hunting opportunity.

We have almost 11,000 acres of private land consisting of crop lands, white-oak acorn forests, swamps and sloughs around the old Ohio River bottoms. In addition, a fertile soil has allowed us to produce rich food plots creating a sanctuary for reclusive monster bucks. A multitude of secret food plot mixes are interspersed throughout our properties which serve to maintain and enhance our big buck population. Our area has produced bucks scoring up to 208". Typical 250+" Non Typical Boone and Crockett. Only Pope and Young bucks scoring 125" and larger may be taken which allows for optimal maturation of bucks.


In addition to this big buck refuge, our land is scouted thoroughly thru-out the year to maximize your chances for a successful hunt. We have up to 300 or more lock on and ladder sites ready and in position. Currently we use the top Ladder and Loc-on Stands on the market. Over the years our guides have found that close tree steps that hunters can reach and ladder sticks are liked and appreciated by hunters hunting with us. We try and position a majority of all stands between 17' and 20' in height. Our guides are ready and willing to work for you while you are in. If you see a large animal across a field and ravine we will try and help you move to get on the animal. Our guides are family and friends that have grown up and lived in the area all their lives!

Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts guarantees the work ethic and dedication required to provide you with the hunt of a life time. We have a high return rate on our past hunters. Our hunters are not only impressed with the bucks on our land but also the extraordinary quality and management of our food plots. Our acres and acres of high protein food plots continue to amaze our hunters each year.

Give Jarod a call, come in and hunt and feel like one of the family instead of just another #.

Letters of Reference

"I want to thank you for making my first experience in Illinois one to remember. You run a FIVE STAR operation!! The lodge, home cooked meals and very knowledgeable guide made my hunt an enjoyable one. Your guide, Dave did his homework - my group of hunters all saw big bucks and I had the opportunity to see a possible Boone and Crockett buck at 17 yds. I could not ask for anything more from your outfit...Look forward to seeing you guys next year!!! ps I hope you guys can find the buck I hit" Jarod


"I just wanted to drop you a note regarding the bow hunt I experienced the first week of October. I am thoroughly impressed with your entire operation. The deer, the land, the guide, the cook, the lodge and even the dog are exceptional! I must admit that this was my first guided hunt and I was extremely skeptical. It only took a handshake and a few minutes in a tree stand to put me at ease. Your operation was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I can’t say enough good things about you, Dave and your business. Taking a great buck was just “icing on the cake”. I can’t wait to experience Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts again. Thanks for the great hunt and if u ever wander into Western New York please look me up" Jason Yasso

"Jarod, Thanks for a great hunt. We never thought we were going to go 3 for 4 and almost
4 for 4 by the second day" Steven

"Jarod, I just wanted to send you a BIG thank you for providing a fantastic hunting experience for me!! I also wanted to say I thought David was a top notch guide and I look forward to using him again in the future. Thank you again Jarod and I look forward to seeing you soon for another hunt!!" Joel

"Hunting late season with Illinois Ohio Valley Trophy Hunts was awesome! After watching bucks the first couple nights I got on and killed a 141" Pope and Young on January 6th 2004. Thanks, Jarod for everything, this is a hunt I will never forget."
