Bow Hunter’s Special for 2024-25 Season!

Buckeye Creek is offering hunters an affordable way to extend their hunting opportunities this season! After you’ve fully paid for your hunt, Buckeye Creek will allow you to return for additional days of bow hunting later in the season at a rate of $350 per day. The daily rate provides for your overnight lodging, meals (if applicable) and access to the property for great Pike County hunting! What a great way to get back in the game if you’re still looking to fill your tag!

Your additional days are based on availability. Call or email for more details.

As always the schedule shows dates and availability for our standard 5 day hunts. Buckeye Creek can work with you and your party to customize hunts for other available dates. To check availability of all possible dates, call (847-732-1558) or email us (SFerg82@aol.com) for more details.
