Lodge Hunts

Hunters are responsible for their state hunting license and required permit. Permits will be available on a first come, first serve basis beginning around the second Saturday in July at 8:00 a.m. CST. Hunters can contact the Illinois Department of Natural Resources or email Buckeye Creek with questions about the latest information.

Farmhouse Hunts

Continuing for the '08-09' deer hunting season, Buckeye Creek Outfitters will again be offering farmhouse hunts.  These hunts will take place from a comfortable farmhouse situated on 700+ acres in some of Pike County's best deer ground.  The hunters at the farmhouse will be responsible for their own meals but will be shown the property and our stand sites, and then will be on their own to hunt.  Hunters are welcome to bring their own stands, and because food isn't provided, your cost will be less (see the posted hunt prices below).

Additionally, Buckeye Creek will continue to offer shotgun and muzzleloader hunts from the Farmhouse!  Booking on these dates provides gun hunters access to some of the best hunting in Pike County during one of these prime seasons.

These farmhouse hunts have been well-received so let us hear from you so we can get you booked and headed to Pike County for a great hunting experience!

Rules and Practices

All Buckeye Creek rules apply to hunts at both the Lodge and Farmhouse. Buckeye Creek is proud to practices and monitor quality deer management on all our hunt areas and expects our hunters to abide by and support these practices.  This includes our buck harvest restrictions and how all our hunters approach the safety during his or her hunt.  Always wear a safety harness; Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the field; Know you 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.
