Shuhart Creek Whitetails - West Central Illinois Bowhunting
Bowhunting only on 1600 acres of
Private Land located in West Central Illinois in Hancock County on the
Mississippi River bluffs. We are in the county north of the "golden
triangle". We don't receive the publicity they do, but that is not
bad.
We have a diverse habitat of hardwoods, white and red oak acorns, farm
fields of corn, soybeans and wheat, and food plots containing turnips,
rape, alfalfa, clover, oats and sugar beets. Hunting pressure is light
and the quality of our deer is high. The land has been under quality
deer management for the past 10 years. There is an excellent opportunity
to harvest a Pope & Young whitetail. I am an avid bowhunter myself and
know what it takes to harvest quality bucks.
You may bring a climber stand if you prefer to hunt
out of one. My stands - mostly ladder stands and lock-on stands - range
from fifteen to twenty-five feet high, depending on type of cover and
terrain. Ground blinds are available and successful for those not able
to hunt from an elevated stand. Use of safety belts from elevated stands
is mandatory. |

About Our Illinois Bowhunting:
No stalking or still-hunting is allowed. Bucks
must have a minimum 130 P&Y gross score. There is a $300.00 fine for
bucks scoring less than 130 P&Y gross. I also encourage every hunter
to take a whitetail doe if they wish. I will do everything I can to
make your hunt successful.
Our Lodge is non-smoking, and provides you with a stove, microwave
and refrigerator. No meals are provided.
I have Kawasaki Mules for transportation to stands if needed and to
retrieve your deer. A walk-in cooler is available to hang your deer.
