More about us
Our company was established in 2006 and operates in 2 territories.
- Our deer hunting ranch is about hunting and a connection with the outdoors. There are many great outfitters to choose from; it’s a difficult process. I will make it simple - we do not offer all the great services others do.
- We put in the work in the off-season on the 8-9 food plots and fill 5 auto-corn feeders nearly year-round. You show up and do the work of hunting. We do not walk you to your stands or cook food for you.
- The catch is that you just get the benefits of my deer management expertise indirectly. Our property is done to the best of any standard when it comes to food plots and not allowing kids and grand-kids on the property riding side-by-side in the off-season.
- I am a school teacher by day, so responding to any questions cannot get done until after 4pm. People ask if there are veteran discounts, and I politely say everyone gets one since I am a veteran who keeps things reasonably priced.
- You’ll be provided a map that show trails to access all the food plots, ladders stand locations on most food plots, elevated box blinds, 5 auto feeder locations, what's in each food plot, where the ladder stands are at on food plots, cabin location, etc.
- My lodging is not high-end. It’s basically a permanent spike camp/glorified camping with heat, gas cookstove, and a gas grill outside, with the basics and you feel like you’re out in rugged deer hunting country.
- Quality deer and land management is key for our Bluegrass state to continue the excellent hunting culture we currently boast.
- 1 buck per hunter is state law and Kentucky's gun season in most zones is only around 14 days!

About this hunt
SINGLE HUNTER WELCOME TO BOOK BY YOURSELF. Hunt over 8-9 food plots in a very wooded habitat. 125" minimum trophy rule. We do not mix strangers. Ladder stands are set on most food plots with a few plastic box blinds around. There are also 5 auto-corn feeders spinning out corn in the morning and evening. Primitive/basic cabin is free to use, but has bunkbed, 2 lofts above small living area with mattresses, gas heat, battery lanterns, gas cookstove inside and gas grill outside, etc. You do use the bathroom outside. Basic camp stuff (paper products/pans) will be there. There is a deer cart at the cabin in case you do not have a 4-wheeler or side-by-side. -No hidden fees -No trophy fees Arriving the afternoon before your hunt would be reasonable. We are not shooting does this time of year - this is trophy hunting. Upon booking, you'll be sent a map of all trails, locations to each food plot, what is in each food plot, where feeders and stands are, cabin location, etc. You may bring a 4-wheeler to pull your deer out to where we field dress deer. The work has been done, now you just need to hunt! If you prefer guides, they are an excellent resource, but that's just not what we offer. The unique thing about us is we own our land - we do not lease random pieces of property. We just do not walk you to stands or cook food for you - I am a school teacher during the hunting season. If you can, come out in the summer and take a 20-minute ranger tour to see where you will be hunting.

Where you will hunt
Territory
My Kentucky deer hunting property I guarantee looks better and is more manicured for quality deer management than most because I do it as a passion, and if I make money, it's a by-product. For nearly 15 years I’ve been working this property to produce the best Kentucky deer hunt for me and my friends possible. This whitetail deer hunting property has been designed as if God himself wanted to hunt this land. It’s about a 155 acre piece of deer hunting paradise tucked away off the road, behind other wooded properties. This property is manicured year-round for world-class Kentucky whitetail hunting and I leave it alone during hunting season. It's all yours to enjoy with just your private party (2-4 hunters). It is 95% wooded with the other 8+ acres scattered in small huntable kill plots throughout the Kentucky trophy deer property.

Where you will stay
Deer Hunting Cabin
It's a small but quaint hunting cabin. It's well insulated with an overall dimension of 16X24 plus a front porch. A slider window is on the back wall so that you can over look a clover food plot should you decide to stay in the cabin for a sitting. Furnishings to Expect: pull out couch, bunk beds, chairs / table, gas cooking stove, gas heat, gas lights, basic cooking utensils & throw away plates/cups, etc. Sleeping bags, pillows. You get to use an outhouse at deer camp! It's in the sticks; no running water. $60 motel is 20 minutes away if you'd like. We are all about Kentucky whitetail hunting and keeping prices down for an affordable Kentucky trophy deer. Bring a quiet generator if you'd like to run the flat screen and DVD player. All hunts have a 2 person minimum to book, but email to make sure.

Terms
Price Includes
- Accommodation
- Food plots: I work as a school teacher, so I have the time and pleasure to do the spraying, tilling, planting, fertilizing, liming, mowing, etc., to the spring and fall kill plots.
- I strip food plot for two reasons:
- #1: I enjoy the clean lines and how things look with 2 distinct food sources in the same food plot. #2: What if a seed fails?
- Planting food plots for hunters who pay is a lot of responsibility. I will do chicory/clover/alfalfa blends, but other than that, I will strip corn, brassicas, turnips, buckwheat, cereal grain, oats, milo, etc. Well, I will blend oats too with clovers, so I get the kill plot trait, then the nitrogen benefits and early greening in the spring for turkey hunters. The bulbs in brassicas help airate (sp?) the soil and gives me more organic material in the soil.
- My deer destroy soybeans. I have put up barriers/fences/human hair, etc. - it does not matter.
Cancellation
- BASIC REFUND POLICY:
- Work with me and I will work with you. If you cancel outside of 60 days to your hunting date, 100% of your deposit will be applied to the same hunt next year. If you need to cancel 60 days prior to your arrival, give me a heads up. Your reserved hunt is valuable, and I can likely sell the hunt to someone else and give you the money. Hopefully, you rebook the following year.
- Unrealistically speaking, upon an alien invasion, nuclear war, virus outbreak, or asteroid impact, there are no refunds. I did have people worrying about a virus being in the woods; however, even Dr. Fauci will admit hunting for food in the woods is safer the flocking by the millions to Walmart for food.
Price DOES NOT include
- Does not include anything not mentioned above. No hidden fees. $500 penalty for accidental shooting of trophy under 125". The purpose is not to "penalize," it is to make sure people take an extra second to identify a nice buck prior to pulling the trigger. Hunters will see 8 and 9 pointers that are not shooters.
Wounding
- It happens. If you have better than a teaching job like me, go buy a Johnny Walker Blue and have a few sipping shots yourselves and leave the bottle for me.
- If you shoot an undersized buck by mistake, it is still a trophy for most people. Your penalty - go buy a Johnny Walker Blue, have a few sipping shots yourselves, and leave the bottle for me. Hunting is supposed to be always great, even when you miss or misjudge (it happens.) If you like Johnny Walker Blue, buy some for your trip, and leave a little for me (you see the theme. This is supposed to be a nice time with friends/family in the woods away from work.)

Average hunt.
Outfitter was very responsive He was also very accommodating and flexible
Part my fault. The owner operates two properties. If I’m not mistaken, almost all photos are of one property. So I expected it being close to the same. I should have asked. . Overall I was there to hunt, had a good time and experience. Didn’t kill anything but that’s what makes hunting rewarding when you do.
As described
I like unguided hunts where me and my wife can enjoy quality property and be to ourselves. The place is managed to provide excellent habitat to wildlife. This hunt is for realistic hunters that can do for themselves and appreciate a well managed property being made available to them , if you want to be waited on and pampered find an outfitter that provides that
There was nothing we didn’t like. The outfitter was upfront and to the point and the setup was what he said it was
Excellent hunting experience
This was the best hunting experiences I've had and I went all by myself on top of it. Owner: James, was completely polite and useful and helped me out with butchers and taxidermists. And it came in useful after my shooting a 192 ¹⁰/¹⁶" antler buck! I've been hunting for a dozen years and this by sure was my number 1 life experience. Not just the deer and other animal sightings alone, but just the home feeling vibes and the excitement while my driving there, and this is coming from me a guy all the way from New York.
I'm not a big fan of the old school cabin in the hunt property, but I'm new fashioned. Besides there's a hotel about 30 minutes nearby.
