    Michigan's Steve Taber booked a 2008 combo hunt.  This is Steve's buck captured on one of our Cuddeback Digital Cameras on 7/29/08 at 7:26 P.M.  This is one of many pictures of his buck taken by our Cuddebacks.  (Notice the drop tine starting on the right antler.) He made a great shot on this deer with his new Bowtech.  Steve has already rebooked with us for 2009.  See you next year Steve!!!!!      

     

     

    TAXIDERMY PRICES:

    Hillside Taxidermy is a local taxidermist that works with Illinois' Ohio River Outfitters.  Since our hunting operation gives owner Larry Johnson so much business each season, he has been gracious enough to give our clients a discount on their trophy mount.  For $275 he will mount your deer and ship it out to you.  Shipping will run approximately $75.00 - $100.00 extra.  Here is an example of his fine taxidermy work.  Larry is one of the few full time taxidermists in Illinois.

     

    You can call Larry of Hillside Taxidermy at (618) 926-0907 or (618) 994-2479.  He will be glad to talk with you.

    - We do not drive deer.  All hunts are fair chase on free ranging whitetails. NO FENCES HERE!! 

    - We encourage the harvesting of doe.  Doe permits are available over the counter in Illinois.  You may harvest multiple doe on your hunt - however the processing is your responsibility.   We can't have our guides skinning deer until 1:00 A.M. then get back up at 3:30 A.M. to guide hunters.   

    - You may donate your venison to a local food bank if you are unable to take it home.

    - If you have any questions feel free to give us a call at one of the numbers below.
