Since 1992
Fair chase, or it doesn't count.
Shawnee Hills Outfitters has been putting hunters on world-class, free-range Illinois whitetails since 1992 — no high fence, no bait, no shortcuts. Just white-oak ridges, river bottoms, and more than three decades of knowing exactly how big deer move through them.
Camp is run by Britt and his family — Randy, Donnie, Steve and Bryce guiding, Amy cooking supper for the whole crew, Haley packing stand lunches, and mom supplying cookies and stories by the fireplace. Most of camp every year is repeat hunters, and they'll tell you: you show up a stranger and leave family.
The ground never stops improving. This summer alone the farm added new properties along the Ohio River — hardwood benches over big creek channels, a famous buck-traveling creek, secluded food plots, even a boat-in island sanctuary with a hand-hewed log cabin still standing on the home place. Stands get hung and cameras get run all year, so when you climb in, the homework's already done.
What people say
Kind words
What a farm we've added to Shawnee Hills Outfitters! This will be the equivalent to you or your team advancing and playing in Madison Square Garden. Hardwood high ridges, benches and pinch points right above big creek channels and the Ohio River. A few handpicked secluded food plots and another sanctuary island with boat-in access only. A few initial cameras were hung this morning with many more to go, but she'll be ready to go when you get here. See you all soon!
Shawnee Hills Outfitters has just added ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL FARM with a very famous buck-traveling creek that runs through the property. Classic hardwood pinch points, overgrown fence rows, and funnels throughout acres of agriculture. Genetics, riverbottoms, creeks, hardwoods, thickets, and agriculture = more SHO big bucks! Hope you can join us!
Went out to one of the new farms today to continue getting acquainted. River and slough travel corridors, hardwood hills including what looks to be a great acorn crop, and beans did not disappoint. Man it is lush out there!
Our territory is known for predominantly white oak timber with thumb-size acorns, but never underestimate the big bucks' desire for our wild persimmons. These sweet fruits are going to be sagging the limbs again this season, and it's very likely at least one tree is near you no matter what stand you're hunting.
5 inches of rain last night at Shawnee Hills Outfitters. Everything was already lush throughout June and July, with crop production expected to be at an all-time record level. Perfect conditions for long and heavy tines!
The little 2-3 man cabin is ohhhh so close. Electric-pole retaining wall, natural rock dug outta the hills for the steps, big slabs of slate for the walk, and the interior wrapping up just in time for season.
Don't let the white dots on the back of his head fool ya. He's walking away... lol
