What do hunters say about Bigger Bucks Outfitters?
We hold a 4.8 star rating across 26 Google reviews, which is more reviews than any other hunting operation Google lists near us in western Illinois.
What is more useful than the number is what the reviews are about. Google groups them by theme, and the themes are the lodge, mentioned in ten reviews, friendly staff in six, family atmosphere in five and deer hunting in three.
We think that is the honest description of this business. People book us for Illinois whitetail and they write about the camp. Read them all on Google rather than taking our word for it. They are public and we have not chosen which ones you get to see.
If the lodge is the thing people write about, the lodge page is worth a look. If you want to know what the ground produces, the harvest gallery is every animal taken here by a hunter who booked with us.
It is great to stay with genuine people. The lodge, land, and deer are phenomenal.Chris LaBuguen · Google review

My first turkey hunt and first time hunting with Bigger Bucks Outfitters did not disappoint. The lodge was awesome. The people were great. The hunt was amazing. Travis the turkey whisperer Bigger was my guide for most of the trip.

Travis and his crew are amazing. The camaraderie and the lodge and overall welcome feel you get there is top notch. Unfortunately the weather was against us on our hunt but you cannot control mother nature. We will definitely be back in the future.

Awesome experience. It is great to stay with genuine people. The lodge, land, and deer are phenomenal. Travis and the crew make you feel like you are part of the family while still giving you 110 percent on putting you on big bucks.

Ten of them are about the lodge.
Google groups reviews by what they talk about. Ours group like this: the lodge in ten, friendly staff in six, family atmosphere in five and deer hunting in three.
Read that again, because it is the most useful sentence on this website. Hunters pay us to put them on Illinois whitetail, and then they go home and write about the building and the people in it. That is why the lodge gets its own page and why the guides are on the about page rather than buried in a footer.
