Whitetail Deer & Turkey Hunting at it's Finest!
Eagle Lakes Outfitters Youth Hunts
Youth under the age of 16 at the time of the hunt are allowed to hunt free with a paid adult (parent, grandparent, uncle/aunt). We know that this is rare for a youth to hunt free, but we believe that this is where the love of
the hunt comes from - our youth! The tags/permits and all licenses are the responsibility of the hunter. Check with IDNR regarding any additional classes (eg. Hunter Safety) that may need to be taken prior to obtaining your permit & license.

2019 Youth Season
Another successful youth season in the books for Eagle Lakes Outfitters! There were so many smiles and friendships made during last weekend. The youth hunters and adults enjoyed cowboy cooking over coals, a conservation officer visit, a surprise raffle, games of flashlight tag, hide n seek, practicing with their archery equipment, talks around the camp fire and also helping clean up around camp. It takes a special parent to take off work and take the time and effort to involve their child in events that they know will better them in the future. We would like to say thank you to our guides, family and friends and everyone else who helped make this past weekend a successful and memorable experience for everyone! We would like to give a special thank you for supporting and donating to our youth hunters raffle to the following; Great Rivers Bank, Farmers State Bank, Top Tier Outdoors, NWTF, Buckmasters, Hunter Specialties (Carl Drake), Copperhead Tavern, Pike County Archery, JDR Shooting Systems, Archer's Choice Media, Mississippi Valley Hunting & Fishing Assoc. (Glen Sanders), John Borrowman, Scott Bradshaw, Jed Ripplemeyer, Robert Poulter, Alex, and Vince Failla. Also not mentioned in the previous sentence, we had two hunters that were unable to make it this year and insisted that their deposit be put toward our youth hunt. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful weekend. It is our pleasure to be able to host such a memorable experience for all of our youth hunters and their parents!
2016 Youth Season
We brought back the pink lipstick challenge that was started in 2015 and this year we added lucky pink bandannas to the hunt! Judging by the size of the deer these kids harvested this year, I think the bandannas worked!!! Everyone here at Eagle Lakes Outfitters are so VERY PROUD of each and every youth hunter who visited us!!
2015 Youth Season Antics
2015 was such a great year for all of us at Eagle Lakes Outfitters, and one of the big highlights was the Youth Season hunts. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month the kids decided to do there part and put the dad's on notice!! Anyone that harvested a deer was allowed to get out the hot pink lipstick, and paint their dads lips! We have never seen dads be so PROUD to show off their make-up!
