Our weekly hunts are $1700 total for a group of 2-3 persons, lodging included. Additional persons (over 3) will be an additional $600. The number of acres for the weekly hunt will depend on the number of people and the week chosen and the property chosen.
This will be our second year in operation. The ground we have available for lease is partially farm ground and partially wooded area. After reviewing our first year, which we feel was relatively successful, we have made a few changes in operating procedures. We felt that too much human scent was being left on the property during and after each hunt due to all the travel across each of the properties making the hunting poor for the first couple days of each hunt. To remedy this problem, each property will be scouted prior to the hunting season and several tree stands placed in the appropriate spots throughout the property. The hunter will be guided to the stands on their property assigned at the time of their hunt. If a deer stand does not seem to be working out in the location placed, management will arrange to have one of our scouts move the stand to a slightly different location on the property that will better suit the hunter.
Lodging is a part of the hunting package. If you would prefer not to have the lodge as part of the lease, a place to camp can be arranged or electrical hookup for a camper can be arranged.
We are located 20 minutes from Quincy, Illinois (approx. 20 miles). I hope I have answered a few of your questions. Kevin can answer most of your questions if you wish to call him or give me your phone # to call you. Thanks for your interest. Look forward to hearing from you.
