For my first booked hunt in Illinois, I could not have come to a better place. The Butlers made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The lodge at Butler Farms makes you feel like you never left home, yet the hunting lets you know you have. I looked forward to this hunt for so long and I was not disappointed. Even thought I was not fortunate enough to harvest a deer, I would definitely recommend to any one to plan a trip to Butler Farms.

The deer hunting here was the best five days of hunting of my life. The abundance of deer blew my mind. I will definitely book my next Illinois hunting trip at Butler Farms! I was unable to harvest a deer this past week. But the opportunities were there. I have never seen so many bucks from a tree stand in my 27 years on this earth as I did the past five days. I will count down the days until next year's hunt!

God Bless both of you and I will be back to see you again.

Upon arrival at Butler farms we were greeted with smiling faces from the Butler’s. After a quick tour of the lodge and a review of the property layout from Mr. Don, we soon were off and scouting on the property we’re assigned.

The lodge was well equipped with everything you could ask for. It was just like being at home only better because you were in the big buck woods of Pike County.

Sleeping accommodations were great, food was excellent and the hospitality was second to none. Mr. & Mrs. Butler went above and beyond my expectations, and friendly as could be.
On the 16 hour road trip the anticipations and excitement were very high. As soon as we started scouting we realized that our dreams had come true. The property we hunted exceeded our expectations. Big bucks, scrapes, rub, and big does were all we expected. It was absolutely amazing, and the return trip could be even better.

As an avid and experienced whitetail hunter, I have high expectations for a hunting outfitter. The Butler Farms experience was truly superior. The lodge accommodations are like no other and the gracious hospitality of Don & Sandy & Mike (family) is unparalleled.

The number and quality of deer is outstanding. For a 5- day hunt, I was able to see over 6 bucks within shooting and many more close by. Really a whitetail dream come true! Opportunities abound, scenery is outstanding, and most of all – the company is like family.
This is a DON’T MISS for Illinois hunting.

I wanted to write you a note and tell you how much fun Tina and I had with you a couple of weeks ago. This being our second year with Butler Farms, Tina and I feel like Sandie and Don are a part of our family. You always make us feel welcome and like we are coming home when it gets to be that time of year.

I have hunted several other states, but I always feel at peace when it’s time to go to Butler Farms Lodge.

This year we had great weather and we saw a good number of bucks, including the biggest buck I have ever seen hunting. Although we did not get that one, I did harvest a really nice eight point that came in to the decoy. We also got really good footage of a number of nice bucks.
I want to again thank you, Mr. Don, Miss Sandie, and Mike for all the help you gave us, and also the hospitaility.

We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

God Bless you, your family, and business

I’m so glad that God made our paths cross in life! It was awesome sharing deer camp with you in 2007. What great fun, food, and fellowship. Hunting is not all about the kill!

God Bless!

I have been to Illinois twice before coming to Butler Farms. I have harvested 2 Pope & Young bucks which have caused me to be particular about the next buck I shoot. Although I saw bucks that would make many hunters happy, I opted to pass on them. The hunt does not have to have a kill to be successful. The friendships that were made will last a life time. I really enjoyed the family atmosphere with Sandie, Don, and Mike. It was as if we were old friends. I hope to come back next year.

Thanks for A Great Time

The hunting potential is outstanding at Butler Farms. The Butlers go out of their way to make you feel at home and like family. They truly care about doing everything they can to help you succeed. I hope to return again to continue my search for my deer of a lifetime and continue my friendship with Don, Sandie, and Mike.

Thank you for your caring and hospitality. I have learned that the size of the deer does not judge the size of the experience. Hope God continues to bless you and your family!

Good Folks, Good Food, Good Deer!!

I really enjoyed the hospitality, Friendship, and fellowship I found during my stay. I only wish I had more time.

I always enjoy the hunting experience at Butler Farms. Don and Sandie are very gracious and make you feel at home. They’re very hospitable and caring people. I would definitely recommend Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures to any prospective hunter.

Thanks to you both, as well as Matt & Mike for another year of hunting enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

This was my first visit at Butler Farms. Don, Sandie and family make you feel like you never left home. First rate accommodations in a first rate lodge leaves you wanting for nothing.

Thanks again for the hospitality. Even though my first trip wasn’t a successful one, I can see the potential. Hope to bring my son back next trip.

God Bless
