About Our White-Tailed Deer Hunts

Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Overview

The White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is a highly adaptable and widely recognized species native to North America, distinguished by its characteristic white underside of the tail, which it raises as a flag when alarmed. Males, or bucks, typically sport antlers that shed and regrow annually, with size and shape varying significantly based on age and genetics. As a prey species, their keen senses of hearing and smell, combined with their agile movements, make them a challenging target for hunters. Effective hunting strategies often involve understanding their patterns of behavior, including feeding and breeding cycles, as well as utilizing scent control and camouflaged clothing to enhance success. The deer’s preference for wooded areas, fields, and near water sources also provides strategic locations for blind setups or elevated stands, making for an engaging hunting experience that appeals to both novice and seasoned hunters alike.

Typical Hunt Features

White-tailed deer hunts typically take place on managed private lands—ranches, plantations, and preserves—where quality herd management, food plots, mineral sites, and supplemental feeders help support healthy populations and trophy-class antlers. Guided 1:1 or small-group packages cover all the basics: pre-hunt scouting (often with trail cameras), field dressing, transportation to elevated shooting houses, ladder stands, ground blinds or spot-and-stalk access, plus lodging and meals at rustic lodges, cabins or bunkhouses. Archery, rifle and muzzleloader seasons run from early fall through late winter, and hunts generally span two to five days. Hunters commonly pursue bucks scoring from around 100

Common Amenities

White-tailed deer hunts are typically based out of purpose-built lodges offering cozy, private or shared bedrooms furnished with standard beds. Daily meals are provided, accommodating early departures and late returns to the field. Most lodging features modern climate control—heating and air conditioning—to maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round. A few hunt packages may use more remote or unspecified camp facilities, but still aim to deliver solid shelter and basic creature comforts suitable for both first-time and veteran hunters.

Eastern Colorado Mule White-Tailed Deer Hunt #1 Pintada)
The Eastern Colorado Mule & Whitetails Deer Hunts are on a drawing with limited number of licenses available. The limited number of hunters has resulted in an increase in both the number and quality of our deer. When you draw a tag in our area it is good for either a Mule Deer or a Whitetail Hunt. Colorado has a preference point system and also has a percentage of licenses allotted to the landowner. This system has enabled our hunters to draw a tag with high success using the landowner preference we have available to us. Most regular season hunts you can draw allow you to hunt with us using our landowner preference. Late season hunts will take points in addition to our landowner preference. This year we will again have available a number of landowner vouchers which will enable you to purchase a license without having to draw a tag or use any accumulated preference points.

Western Illinois Free Range Whitetail Hunt - Archery Late Season
The acres your hunt will take place on are very strictly managed. South Fork hunters are required to harvest at minimum 140 inch, 3 ½ year old bucks. Having these practices in place for years has only made a good thing that much better. In addition to the doe’s that our hunters harvest, we take heard surveys that enable us to go through late season and remove doe’s in highly populated areas. As a whole – the areas you will be hunting have an excellent doe-to-buck ratio (2 or 3-to-1). Hunter to acre ratio is also very important. Low pressure is a huge part of harvesting mid-west whitetail deer. Here at South Fork, we keep ample ground for the numbers of hunters we run, with some farms not being hunted for entire seasons. This is all to ensure South Fork ground will remain the best of the best. We take stand location very seriously. This is crucial when getting close to giant Illinois bruisers. The wind and thermals are taken into consideration on every set. The stand set ups are for stealth entry and exits. Stand location is one of the biggest keys to a successful hunt- second only to having a piece of great managed whitetail ground. All stands are set by South Fork Guides that have years of experience and the bucks to prove it! The rule of thumb we live by is “if we wouldn’t hunt it, we won’t hang it!” We are as excited to get you into the stand that we hung, as you are to be in it. It’s like we are hunting with you. Our sets consist of hang–on’s with climbing sticks (20′-25′); ladder stands (16′-20′); shooting houses (7′-10′); and assorted ground blinds. We utilize over 70+ Shadowhunter Blinds to provide our gun hunters with a comfortable and solid shooting setup. We put you up close and personal, it’s just a matter of time before a big shooter reveals himself. All hunts are completely free range with no high fences in the “Golden Triangle” of Illinois- Pike, Adams, and Hancock counties. All South Fork properties provide the benefits of a long-standing Quality Deer Management Plan and uphold a Pope & Young deer scoring minimum of 140 inches or better. Trail cameras cover almost every property for the majority of the growing season giving you the chance to see a potential trophy before stepping foot in the woods. Field dressing services and deer transportation are provided by our guides if desired. Our guides will assist in meat & trophy care and preparation for shipping
