Guided Deer Hunting
We hunt over 3000 privately owned and operated acres throughout Franklin and Jefferson counties in Southern Illinois. Throughout this land we provide all of our deer hunters with a first class hunting opportunity of a lifetime. We have setup trail cams throughout the property in order to provide each weekly hunt with the best opportunity to get that shot on the buck of a lifetime.
At M & M Outfitters we maintain a "125 inch" minimum on all of the bucks taken from the property. Any bucks taken below the minimum will result in a $500.00 fine and being barred from further hunting on our property. We offer hunters the chance to see many bucks in the 135 to 150 range and have many deer well in to the 160's to 190's.
We offer our hunters the opportunity to enjoy a hunt of comfort. We give all customers the option of hunting out of '16' ladder stands, ground blinds, or bringing their own climbers. We recommend those who can use climbers to bring them. We provide great packages for youth hunts as well as those who need extra assistance. We strive to help every hunter take the buck that Illinois is known for. If, you are looking for the best hunt, with the best guides around, and the best opportunity to take that buck of a lifetime, you need to come see us at M & M Outfitters in Southern Illinois located right on beautiful Rend Lake.
We also offer Youth Hunts to give kids a chance to take a great southern Illinois whitetail deer. As you can tell by the picture below, this young man scored on a very nice 140 class buck while hunting at M&M Outfitters!
