The things I could say about Matt and his guides at backwoods. First off just expect right from the beginning to be treated as you’re a long time friend with them. They make camp very comfortable and make you feel like you’re at home. Also the food wow!! It is great. Now for the hunting, Matt and his team of guides pride there selves in putting every hunter in position to kill that dream buck. I hunted five full days and saw 6 shooter bucks. The biggest one going close to 170 inches. I did not harvest but had some very close calls. I will definitely be going back in 2010 in hopes of shooting that dream buck. There stands are very easy to get in and out of and they know what they are doing when it comes to the stand locations. One thing I really liked was how much pressure they put on the farms. It’s virtually no pressure it seems. The deer we saw never seemed spooky or nervous. They rotate hunters on different areas to make sure everyone gets an equal opportunity. If you are looking for a legit outfitter this is the place to come. Big bucks, good food, awesome accommodations at the lodge, etc, a person could not ask for more. If anyone has more questions please feel free to call me (309-251-7998) be glad to answer any questions.
Thanks for the review. Brock is a serious hunter and knows what it takes to get close to big whitetails and as an outfitter we appreciate that, thanks again Brock
