"My son, Chase and I, would like to thank you for such an amazing hunting experience. I know neither of us will ever forget it! The hunt went better than I could of imagined. Everything from placement in the stand, to tracking and chasing, to tagging a trophy, was all conducted with professionalism and safety in mind! My only regret is that we could not stay longer. But, we do look forward to coming back for a longer stay. Hats off to all the guys at M.B.O. , you really have something to be proud of!"

Mark and Brad,
I just want say how much we enjoyed our deer hunting experience with Muscooten Bay Outfitters. Your gracious hospitality and your dedication to managing trophy whitetails is to be commended.
Over the years I have hunted with a number of outfitters and I knew from the second I met you and your family this was going to be a successful hunt. Regardless of the harvest outcome.
A successful hunt, well that is left up to the individual's definition. For me it is more than the trophy, it is the total package. From the beginning you guys were about the customer taking a trophy deer back home and you did everything possible to achieve that goal with straight up honesty and enthusiasm. Meeting your family for the first time didn't feel like the first time, it was like getting together with oldfriends at deer camp. Money cannot buy that my friend.
I have already recommended Muscooten Bay Outfitters to friends who share similar hunting values and expectations. By the way, seeing photos of the 154" 10 point I was fortunate enough to take, help too.
Best Regards,

Every hunter who has ever dreamed of harvesting a true trophy whitetail, owes it to himself to experience what Muscooten Bay Outfitters has to offer. From beautiful river bottoms, surrounded by fertile crop fields and lush, green foodplots, to gorgeous, rolling, hardwood hills; this part of West Central, Illinois, is a hunter's paradise. A five day hunt will yield numerous sightings and shot opportunities for trophy whitetail bucks. Brad and Mark really put in the time and effort, assuring that treestands are placed in optimal locations, and that foodplots are placed in strategic locations, guaranteeing the opportunity to view a large number of deer. These guys really know their business and even more important, they are extremely familiar with the habits and travel patterns of their local deer herd. I have been bowhunting with MBO since 2006, and I have had shot opportunities on trophy bucks every year. Most years I have numerous opportunities in the same week. The hunting is top notch, but the hospitality is second to none. Every fall, I find myself counting down the days until I can return once more. Each trip is more like a family reunion instead of just another hunting trip, to me, met with handshakes and hugs. Do yourself a favor and book the hunt of a lifetime with Muscooten Bay Outfitters.
