Below is a video of Owner Tim Mueller self filming a successful whitetail hunt during friends and family week at IEO in 2013. Pay attention, some of you will know where he was hunting. Thanks and enjoy. Tim's brother Joe helped in the retrieval video, as well as long time client and friend Gary Sickles Sr..
Todd Heckert buck
This is a video of Todd Heckert from oct. 1st 2012. We were able to edit all the footage and made it into a small video. Todd is disabled from his head down, but is able to accomplish anything with the help of his family and friends. Todd is able to shoot his crossbow by blowing through a straw while looking at a monitor attached to his scope. This is not easy to do, malfunctions happen. The back ground noise is produced by his breathing machine, also a big factor in the difficulty of this hunt. Between the noise and close proximity of this deer, he had us pegged, but Todd kept his composure. It was his time and his buck. It took Todd and his dad Kevin 12 years to harvest his first deer with his bow and 4 years with us. This movie is just under 10 minutes, so sit back, turn it up and enjoy. Thanks again to Todd and the crew for making this a hunt we will never forget!
A turkey finally decides to come out of the timber, we are a little loud in the blind, and we scare him away. Best hunt ever still. We had a blast.

Todd Heckert Buck
This is a video of Todd Heckert harvesting his first buck with a bow. Todd is paralyzed from the neck down, so this is truly an accomplishment. He is able to shoot the bow by blowing into a straw. With the use of the badboy buggie we are able to get Todd into areas which he could never had gone. Todd has been trying to harvest a deer with a bow for 12 years. Todd is limited to what he can do, but with the love and hard work from his dad Kevin and friends there is no limit to what he can accomplish. As an owner of Illinois Extreme Outfitters I want to thank Kevin and Todd for giving us the opportunity to help and film his hunt. It has truly made our year. Enjoy!
