Hunting Experiences

Pike County, Illinois, is known as the best Whitetail Deer Hunting location in the country! Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures offers beautiful Midwest countryside abounding with whitetail bucks just waiting for you. What makes us different? At Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures, you have the freedom to hunt on your own tract of land. You will not encounter other hunters, nor are you limited to a small area. Our DIY Bow hunting-only property is rested between hunting parties so you can experience low-pressure hunting conditions, which creates larger whitetail deer year after year. Our goal is to create for you the most memorable hunt of your life. Come and let Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures create a DIY whitetail deer hunting experience you will never forget. Discover for yourself why Pike County, Illinois, Deer Hunting keeps our hunters coming back year after year! No designated stands.  Where hunting is still a sport!
