About
Let Les Winkeler lead you on a wildlife adventure through Southern Illinois. For the past 30-plus years Les has explored the rivers and lakes, hills and valleys of the region as the outdoors writer for the Southern Illinoisan. Put Les’ experience to work for you exploring the area’s woods and waters, searching for songbirds, waterfowl, wading birds, deer and turkey. Better yet, take home a photographic record of the experience. Bring your cameras if you like. If not, Les can outfit you with quality Canon equipment. Check out our segment on WSIL for a feel of the wildlife experience.
“This was a GREAT day in the woods! Thanks to Les for bringing me on this trip. A full morning of chasing birds was a marvelous way to spend a Monday!” – Joe Bauer
