We hunt deer, turkey, and wild hogs!

We have an amazingly long deer season beginning in mid-August and continuing through January 1. Our velvet buck season is one of the most popular (see video). Ranking right at the top with the August hunts are the Mid-October to mid- November rut hunts. Hunter’s average from 1.25 to 3.25 deer per hunt depending on the number of days hunted.

We hunt over 7,000 acres with 125 different stands located over prime hardwood bottoms, agricultural fields, swamps and timberland. All stands are metal fabricated and designed to hold from 1 to 3 hunters depending on the situation. You will never see the same one twice. All hunts are by reservation only! Whether you are booking a deer or turkey hunt, reservations are limited to 6-8 persons per deer hunt and 4 persons per turkey hunt. Be sure to check out our Big Buck Photo Album for photos of some of our hunter’s harvests.

DECEMBER REPORT

DESPITE TERRIBLE WEATHER AND VERY ADVERSE HUNTING CONDITIONS DECEMBER ENDED AS ONE OF OUR BEST DECEMBER’S ON RECORD. JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE MONTH PESTY DRIZZLES AND SOMETIMES BLOWING DOWNPOURS MADE FOR MISERABLE HUNTING HOWEVER THE TRUE DEDICATED HUNTERS PERSEVERED AND HAD GREAT SUCCESS. EVERY HUNTER DURING THE MONTH HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO HARVEST MULTIPLE DEER INCLUDING MANY LARGE BUCKS WITH SEVERAL FIRST TIME HUNTERS HARVESTING THEIR FIRST BUCK EVER! EVEN OUR HUNT BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH 3 HUNTERS HARVESTING BOTH DEER AND HOGS.

AS 2018 HAS COME TO AN END WE CANNOT HELP BUT TO LOOK BACK AND REFLECT ON THE YEAR AS A WHOLE. IT WAS A YEAR THAT SANDRA AND I OF COURSE WILL NEVER FORGET AS WE EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF OUR BABY GIRL STACY AT THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF 41 ON APRIL 6. THAT SINGLE EVENT WAS AND STILL IS THE MOST DEVASTATING EVENT OF OUR LIVES! HEALING REMAINS VERY SLOW BUT WE CONTINUE TO HONOR HER LIFE AS WE ATTEMPT TO MOVE ON. IT IS A REAL STRUGGLE BUT THANKS TO OUR MANY FRIENDS IN THE HUNTING WORLD ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE GRACED OUR PRESENCE THIS DEER SEASSON WE SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE, PRAYERS AND FRIENDSHIP IN HELPING US GET THROUGH THIS TRADEGY.

LOOKING BACK ON THE DEER SEASON WE EXPERIENCED OUR BEST SUCCESS RATES EVER! LOTS AND LOTS OF DEER WERE SEEN THIS SEASON ON EVERY HUNT AS I CAN HONESTLY SAY WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE A BAD HUNT. SOME OBVIOUSLY WERE BETTER THAN OTHERS BUT THERE WAS PLENTY OF DEER HARVESTED ON EVERY HUNT WITH PLENTY OF ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. TOTALS FOR THE SEASON WERE 88 HUNTERS HARVESTED 167 DEER WHILE MISSING JUST 34 AND PASSING ON NEARLY 100 SMALLER ANTLERED DEER.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND BE SAFE! SPOTS ARE VERY LIMITED FOR OUR 2019 DEER SEASON SO MAKE YOUR PLANS SOON. TURKEY SEASON IS ALREADY FULL. HAPPY HUNTING!
