Illinois Trophy Connections (ITC) is dedicated to acquire only the best ground in each state we outfit in. We have leased ground in Missouri from the northern part of the state to the southern part of the state with no luck in obtaining the quality of ground that we feel is worth our time or your hard earned money. There is no doubt that Missouri has some monster bucks, we’ve seen them, that’s why we tried leasing ground, the problem was all the best ground seems to be already owned or leased. 
   

After years of trying, I finally have struck a deal with an awesome outfitter Smokey Hollow Outfitters owned by Butch and Anna Herold. They have agreed to hunt all my Missouri hunters on their ground! This is really great ground, with a really great people. Butch and Anna also own one of, if not the best outdoor sporting good stores in Northeast Missouri and West Central Illinois area, specializing in archery (Butch's Sports World) that I have ever been in. The staff is without a doubt the most courteous, professional and hands down the most knowledgeable staff I have ever come in contact with. That is why I have agreed to partner up with Butch and Anna on my Missouri hunts. So, if a great hunt in Missouri, on awesome ground, with a quality people is what you are looking for, you have come to the right place, just click on the e-mail address below and let Butch know ASAP as these hunts will go fast when word gets out!
