Background Information

    

  

    Antler Ridge Acres is owned and operated by Eric Schenk of Mt. Sterling, IL.  Its location is in Brown County, which is well known for its deer population and trophy bucks.  In an issue of Illinois Game & Fish an article read, "Few who have hunted Brown would argue that more trophy deer occur per square mile in this county than any other." The article also states that the county "holds two of Illinois' largest contiguous woodlands."  These woodlands also contain Siloam Springs State Park, and our land is only approximately 7 miles from one of these regions.

      Consider hunting this prime whitetail and turkey land in Brown County, IL.  We offer 5-7 day, semi guided hunts throughout the season, but only 12 hunters are allowed each week.  This is for bow hunting only and does not include shotgun.  Lodging is included in the price of your hunt.  Visit our page labeled "Rates" for hunting dates and price information.

    We have approximately 1000 acres (click for aerial photos) of land in which we use mineral salt, protein blocks, and red clover to attract deer and enhance antler growth.  The land has been scouted with bedding areas, scrape lines, and rubs well known and kept track of.  Therefore, we can help place you in a good area to maximize your hunting experience!
