On Venku since May 2023
We have been operating as a top-quality outfitter for whitetail and turkey hunters for over 20 years. We manage thousands of acres of prime wildlife habitat in Southern Illinois. Owned and operated by Diane and Darrell who specialize in low-pressure hunting on highly managed properties for a select number of clients. We book about 30 hunters a year during the 6 prime weeks of hunting season, this is not a high-volume hunt factory. When you hunt here, you're part of the family!

Best place I've ever hunted
Best place I've ever hunted. My first hunt was 10 years ago with my two sons. I remember it like it was yesterday. Been there many times since and plan to continue, if the good Lord's willing. This place has some of the biggest deer I've ever seen. Great people! Great memories! Great place to hunt!

This was my first hunt with an outfitter and even
This was my first hunt with an outfitter and even hunting out of state for that matter. I was a little skeptical being an amateur hunter, but I was amazed at the selection of properties to hunt and the amount of trophy buck I saw on my trip. An awesome hunt and I would love to go back again next year! P.S. It was like being on the hunting channel. I've never seen a larger quantity of bigger bucks in my 27 years of deer hunting.
