Illinois' Ohio River Outfitters
offers trophy whitetail deer hunting in the heart of Illinois
deer hunting country. We are an Illinois Whitetail Outfitter located
in the extreme Southeast portion of the state, right on the Ohio
River. A
Quality Deer Management system has been in effect for the past
13 years. Our Illinois whitetail service was the first in the
area to manage for world class whitetails. The time and effort
put into managing for these trophy class whitetails has more
than paid off for our clients. This is why we offer our clients the best
chance to harvest a trophy class
whitetail in the state of
Illinois.
A highly nutritional food source of soybeans, corn, alfalfa, clover, and acorns provide the nutrients
whitetails need to reach trophy class standards. This diverse
food source intermixed with the rolling hardwood ridges make our
property some of the best whitetail habitat in the United
States.
Illinois'
Ohio River Outfitter
property is roughly 65% hardwood ridges, river bottoms, and
swamps with the other 35% in agricultural fields and high
nutritional food plots. We take pride in or family owned
property and know that the key to growing monster bucks has four
factors: good food and habitat along with good genetics and age.
 Our
guides
are very knowledgeable about the withdrawn Illinois whitetail
and have made
studying big mature whitetails there way of life, not just
during the season, but throughout the entire year. You will enjoy
hunting, and learning, about
Illinois whitetails with our friendly guides. If you are looking
for a top of the line whitetail hunt with an honest, reliable
outfitter, look no further

challenging, yet rewarding hunt. If you are a serious hunter

your hunt.
 During the second firearm season Billy Austin killed this
29 pt., 242" Gross Boone &
Crockett whitetail a 1/2 mile from our property. His
monster buck was one of the highest scoring bucks
harvested in Illinois. A whitetail of this caliber
assures us that our properties are holding world class
whitetails. Even more importantly our strict Quality Deer
Management practice allow these bucks to reach maturity and pass
on their world class genetics to future generations.

Wade Gibbons - Owner |
My name is Wade Gibbons, I am the owner and main guide for
Illinois'
Ohio River Outfitters.
I received a B.S. in Outdoor Recreational Forestry from Southern
Illinois University in 1997 and know the woods of Southern
Illinois very well. As a hardcore whitetail and elk
hunter I know what I expect on guided trips and therefore I know
what you expect out of me as a guide and outfitter.
I started guiding hunts and managing for trophy Illinois
whitetails in 1996. During these years I have produced some
tremendous bucks for professional hunters, television crews, and
ordinary hunting enthusiasts like ourselves. I have been in the
business long enough to know what it takes to consistently
produce trophy whitetails for my clients. It takes minimal
hunting pressure on a maximum amount of intensively managed big
buck property. To ensure our guests a quality hunting
experience, we limit hunter numbers. If you have any questions
about our hunting operation please feel free to contact me at
(618) 201-6905, I will be glad to talk hunting with you.
