Illinois Wildlife Connections in Newton Illinois, anybody ever hunted with them & what did u think? Im going on a 5 1/2 day bowhunt there the third week of November. Ive heard great things about this operation. You can PM me if you'd like. Thx, Robinhedd

I Hunted there in 2006. We went in early Dec and it was 70 degrees all week. The day we left it snowed. Despite the weather I saw over 100 deer from the stand. Saw a few shooters but they were out of range. It's a great place and you will have a good time. I hope to go back one day.

Isn't it a little late to be asking after you've already committed to specific dates and probably ponied up a deposit? What would you do if 100% of the Aldeer responders said they were rip-off artists, the food and lodging were crappy, and the guides hunted all the best stands? I know nothing about this particular outfitter, but I'm always intrigued by hunters who ask for feedback AFTER they've already made a commitment to a particular outfitter. Feel free to correct me if my assumption that you've already paid a deposit is in error.
