Great Group of Guys
Western Illinois Trophy outfitters is really a top notch hunting experience. Everyone was very friendly and very personal. All of the land they hunt and the sets they hang are very professional. I was there for opening week in 2013 and the weather conditions were less than ideal, and hunting was very tough because of the weather. But that did not stop the crew at WITO to do everything they could to put our group on deer. They are a great group of guys and a great outfitter. If you are looking for a IL whitetail hunt I highly recommend adding WITO to the top of your list.

Excellent people, properties and stand locations. Saw lots of animals even though exceptionally warm weather. Guides were second to none and once again great people. In one week of hunting we made life long friends. You will not find a better place to hunt! Honestly it felt like a family hunt camp not a commercial operation like you read so much about. We actually had booked with a different outfitter and changed our reservations after reading poor reviews of the first outfitter. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime hunt this is not the place to go. I have already booked my spot for 2011 and have been to an outdoor show just to meet up with these guys and hang out for a weekend.We met many other clients that weekend that had the same experience as we had. And not suprising they were all great people as well. Highly recommended.

Western Illinois Trophy Outfitters
Western Illinois Trophy Outfitters is TOP NOTCH. Great people, clean comfortable accommodations and hundreds of perfectly placed, quite and safe tree stands. It is obvious that Aaron and a crew go to great lengths to prepare for their hunters. Every hunter in camp saw deer and good deer every day. My group is going back November of 2011 and can’t wait; the summer will not pass fast enough. Several of us in the group I travel with have hunted extensively in North America and all agree, WITO is awesome.

Late Season Bowhunt
Although I did not harvest a buck. I did pass on a 140 inch 9 pt. This was a blast. Everyone in camp was fun to hang around with and the guides really knew their stuff. The weather didn't help the hunt thought. In five days I saw over 60 deer over 10 bucks. I'm telling you, you won't be let down.

Wyoming Hunting Information
Wyoming is a great state for hunters! It offers a wide variety of good big game, turkey, small game, upland and predator hunting.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
