A thorough search for locating the right outfitter should lead you to the phoning of “hunt references.” These are people who have previously hunted with the outfitter who can discuss issues which you feel are vital in the decision making process. References shouldn’t always be people who harvest trophy animals, nor people who are novice hunters.
|
Questions you may wish to ask references include but are not limited to the following: |
|
1. How were the accommodations at the lodge?
2. Was the food good?
3. Did the hunt guides work hard for you during your outing?
4. Were stands comfortable and well placed for deer interception?
5. How was camp atmosphere?
6. Was the ground over hunted or did you see plenty of game?
7. What hunt would you recommend?
8. Where hunt strategies effective and well planned?
9. Would you recommend I book a hunt with this outfitter? |
The following is a listing of references who can further inform you about IMB Outfitters and the services they received from IMB during their outing. The following are all dedicated
sportsmen who know and understand trophy whitetail and turkey movement and what you should expect from a responsible outfitting service. (Photos on this page are solely those of the reference clients appearing on this page.)

Larry Havens took this 171 inch Boone and Crockett Buck during a non rut hunt of Pike County, Illinois in 2007. Larry has hunted a group of 5 guys with us for 3 years. Larry would be great to phone for a reference as he has done the late season, early season, and the rut.
Mark Leblance took this 160 inch Missouri Whitetail Deer in 2009 with IMB
Jay Pope, hunted Illinois last year, and
Iowa
this year. This year he took his first 170 inch plus
buck. Jay is a great Christian man, who accredited
his good fortune to Jesus Christ.
