We observed the field of GRB 111016A (Mangano et al., GCN 12439)
using the WIYN High Resolution Infrared Camera (WHIRC) on the WIYN 3.5m telescope,
beginning at October 17.5 (UT), approximately 17 hours post-burst.
Observations were carried out using J, H and Ks bands. We do not detect
any source within the XRT error circle (Evans et al., GCN 12441).
The preliminary limiting magnitudes are J = 18.3, H = 17.8 and K = 19.0.
We acknowledge the support from the staff of WIYN-3.5m telescope, and
especially from Andrew Schechtman-Rook in carrying out these observations.
