Aaron Milliken
I started this business with the goal of providing valuable lifetime experiences for all clients that hunt with Western Illinois Trophy Outfitters. We believe our Quality Deer Management efforts along with our strict 130 inch minimum will allow our clients the chance to harvest the buck of a lifetime. We can guarantee our hard work, experience, and effort will be passed on to each individual client that chooses to hunt with Western Illinois Trophy Outfitters. We work with every individual to ensure a quality hunt and experience. We accommodate a rather small number of hunters per year to ensure success for those who hunt with us. We are interested in providing results rather than accommodating a large number of hunters who leave camp without accomplishing their goal of harvesting a trophy class animal. I am a self made hunter and business owner that appreciates and understands what every client has in mind when they come to Western Illinois for a chance to harvest a trophy animal. Please feel free to contact me personally regarding any questions about our operation.
