Upland Bird Hunting
At Hopewell Views, you'll experience some of the finest upland bird hunting that you can be found anywhere. Our hunting areas consist of over 2500 acres of rolling hills switch grass, nature prairie grass, Milo food plots, and wood lines. Hunt some of the strongest and fastest flying pheasant, chucker, Red leg partridge and quail that you've ever experienced. Our professional guides have numerous years of hunting & dog experience. You will hunt behind well trained English pointers, English setters, German shorthairs, and Brittany's along with our explosive flushing dogs, English Springer Spaniels, and Labs.
In addition, we also have 2 areas that we have set aside for wild quail hunts. We have extensively managed this area to increase the numbers of the fast flyers. Experience the flush and cover that consists of 15-20 birds (sometimes more). These areas are set up to shoot daily bag limits determined by the state of IL. We offer only a small number of these hunts per season so act fast. It has taken a great deal of time and effort to get the number of wild quail that we have now. Each year the numbers increase, making the hunts more exciting each year.
Water Fowl Hunting
Since 1978, Hopewell views has thrilled duck hunters from all over. Specializing in small private and corporate groups of 14 members or less. Our professional staff produces successful hunts and memories lasting a lifetime.
Located on the Mississippi Flyway, in western Illinois, Hopewell Views is close to two Federal Refuges. Just 1 1/2 hours north of St. Louis Missouri and 1 hour west of Springfield Illinois.
Our guest hunt from above ground blinds and in ground pits, located in corn and bean fields surrounded by numerous acres of water. Our decoy spreads range from 150-300 or more. We have three different areas that offer some of the finest waterfowl hunting in the Midwest and Mississippi Flyway. We see numerous varieties of waterfowl including; Gadwall, Teal, Wood ducks, Pintail, Mallards, Diving ducks, and Geese.
We have the staff, accommodations, and habitat to provide you with a fantastic hunting experience.
Turkey Hunts

The first five day season runs Monday-Friday. The second six day season runs Saturday-Thursday. The third seven day season runs Friday-Thursday. The fourth seven day season runs Friday-Thursday. The last or fifth season is also seven days running Friday-Thursday. You must apply for a PIKE county, IL. permit through the DNR conservation service. Call 217-782-7305 the first drawing usually starts December first.
We have large flocks of wild turkey. Our average two to three year old birds are in the 20-25 pound area! With individual old Toms that have ranged from twenty six to as high as thirty-two pounds. It is not unusual to hear from fifteen to twenty-five gobblers of a morning.
Whitetail Deer
Hopewell Views believes only in quality deer management, with some of the best world class trophy deer hunting. We only allow bow hunting on our properties and impose a strict 130? Pope and Young minimum. We have managed a success rate of over 35% on bucks ranging between 130? and 200? in the past ten years. This is truly some of the best whitetail deer hunting anywhere. We limit the amount of hunters booked each year to provide the hunter with quality deer management and success.
