Lodge Hunts

All deer hunts (except  "Do-It-My-Way" hunts) include accommodations in our comfortable lodge, meals, guide, and in-field transportation and game care. Hunters are responsible for their state hunting license and required permit. Permits will be available the first Saturday in June. The last 2 years, Illinois has had a large number of non-resident tags available! Buckeye Creek can assist with the purchase of deer tags.  Hunters can contact the Illinois Department of Natural Resources or email Buckeye Creek with questions about the latest information or assistance with obtaining your tags.

"Do it My Way" Hunts

Buckeye Creek is happy to provide hunters with the "Do it My Way" Hunt.  This provides hunters with the opportunity to hunt some of Pike County's finest deer habitat and "rough it" by camping on the property.

Parties that want to stay in their own trailer or tent camp are welcome at Buckeye Creek.  No meals are provided.  Use of the land and a water hook up may be provided for self contained camper units.

Call or contact Buckeye Creek to customize your "Do it My Way" Hunt!

Rules and Practices

All Buckeye Creek rules apply to hunts on all Buckeye Creek properties. Buckeye Creek Creek is proud to practice and monitor quality deer management on all our hunt areas and expects our hunters to abide by and support these practices.  Our buck harvest restrictions require a hunter to harvest a mature buck with an antler spread of at least 16" (typical of a rack that it outside of the animals ears) and with at least eight points.

Buckeye Creek stresses safety and requires all our hunters to abide by our safe hunting standards during their hunt.  Always wear a safety harness; Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the field; Know your skill and personal limitations while in the field.  Any violation of these rules will terminate the hunt.  We want our hunters to have a "quality" experience during their visit and these rules are in place to insure that for everyone. Ask our staff should you have any questions about our practices or policies.

All other hunt rules and quality deer rules apply.
