Testimonials

Russell with the giant whitetail buck he harvested at Genesis Whitetails
“I had the best time and hunt with Josh at Genesis Whitetails. His attention to his clients is top notch. I shot an AMAZING BUCK. My guide Gage put me exactly where we needed to be to make my dream a reality — a very professional young man who cares about the future of Genesis. Josh's dad Steve was a lot of fun to be around as well. Can't wait to be back next year.”

Lou with the wide-framed whitetail buck he harvested at Genesis Whitetails
“I had the pleasure of hunting at Genesis Whitetails and MAN what an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, Josh and Steve made my trip truly amazing. Obviously my harvest was incredible, but the time spent with these guys, the conversations, the meals, riding the preserve and the back porch sitting made this one of my top adventures. As a guy who has been involved with numerous trophy properties, Genesis is one of the finest and well maintained tracts of ground I’ve ever seen. This will be a trip I’ll never forget and will look back and smile many times. I look forward to a long friendship and many more successful hunts with Genesis.”

Questions

Where are you located and how do I get there?

We hunt out of Huntsville, Illinois in west-central Illinois. Most hunters fly into Quincy, Springfield or St. Louis and drive in, or drive straight to camp. Call Josh and he'll walk you through the best route for where you're coming from.

Is my license included?

Yes. Your Illinois license is included in the package price along with lodging, meals and your fully guided one-on-one hunt.

How do I book and what deposit is required?

Hunts are booked on a first come, first served basis by phone. Call or text Josh at 217-440-4400 to confirm your dates and he'll go over the deposit and paperwork with you.

What does guaranteed harvest mean?

Each package is tied to a trophy class — Bronze, Gold or Platinum. Josh will explain exactly how the guarantee works for the package and dates you choose before you book.

What should I bring?

Your weapon of choice, hunting clothes for Illinois weather, boots and personal gear. Lodging, meals and the rest of camp are taken care of. Ask Josh for a full packing list when you book.

What happens to my deer after the hunt?

We fully cape and debone your meat so it's ready to travel home with you or head to your taxidermist.
