Bucks BeWare Outfitters is a Trophy Whitetail Deer Outfitter located in Pike County, Illinois. We strive to offer the absolute lowest pressure on whitetails of any outfitter in the area. Most of our hunts are in Pike County Illinois, but we do offer limited hunts in Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa. We have a very strict minimum of 4½ year-old and above harvest restrictions or 140+ inch class bucks. We offer fully guided hunts that include lodging at our beautiful 5-star log cabin located within a few minutes of all of our land. We have been in business for 11 years and concentrate on good old-fashion customer service and big buck management. We are 100% FAIR CHASE! You can see many of our live deer still on our properties on our Trail Camera Photos link on the left-hand side of our website. We try to update that often for your convenience!

If you would like to book a hunt with us, please contact us at (217) 473-3025.

Now taking new bookings for the 2010 season!

“Out of over 150 outfitters, Tom has to be one of the best. His customer service sets him apart from the rest. He pays great attention to the little things and that is what puts him on top.”
