Turkey/ Upland Hunt ComboTurkey Hunters enjoying a successful hunt

Turkey hunting at Heartland is a favorite among hunters visiting the lodge. A perfect combination of hardwoods, CRP, and clover food plots create phenomenal turkey hunting opportunities. Our turkey season typically opens the first weekend of April (youth season) followed by a week break and then continuing through mid-May. We recommend our hunters to come in a few days early to upland hunt before turkey hunting. Our upland hunting season goes through April 15, which coincides with our youth turkey season, and usually the opening week of regular turkey season. Another option hunters have that hunt during turkey season is to head to the upland fields after a morning turkey hunt.

Our upland turkey combo hunts will typically be open the first two weeks of April. Call 217-734-2526 for more information on our upland turkey combination hunts.  To learn more about our Eastern turkey hunts click here>>

Deer/ Upland Hunt Combo

Giant whitetail buck harvested in Pike County, IL We are now offering a combination late season whitetail deer and upland hunt. We recommend splitting half of your time deer hunting and the other half upland or waterfowl hunting (i.e., 2 full days deer hunting, 2 full days upland hunting). Hunters can also upland hunt in the morning and whitetail hunt in the evening. An upland deer hunt combo hunt or a waterfowl deer hunt combo gives you a great variety of hunting action.  This is great for the hunting honeymoon couple that wants a variety of hunting opportunities at an affordable price.

Hunting deer during the late season is all about finding the food. Bucks can be very patternable during this time of year as they travel from bedding to feeding areas. Typically, during December and January, the temperatures drop and produce high quality evening sits from the stand. Bow hunters are now welcome to use crossbows while hunting deer in Illinois throughout the season.

Upland and Waterfowl hunts can also be added to any October or November deer hunt. The upland or waterfowl hunt needs to be before or after your deer hunting days during this time.
