For starters the primitive cabin is a lot nicer than what I was expecting. It is fully furnished and comes with gas heat gas lights solar power for the tv and to charge your phones. There is a sink and propane stove for cooking. This has been some of the best deer hunting Ive ever done in the state. There is Turkey and deer all over the place. During our 5 day hunt we seen approximately 40 does and about 25 turkeys. Unfortunately we never encountered a buck. I know they are in the area Im just assuming they all went nocturnal. There is several tower blinds, blinds and ladder stands in the

Worst hunting experience I have ever hand. I truly don't expect to shoot a big buck when I book a hunt. I feel fortunate if I can even see a mature deer. This hunt was horrible. I saw more domestic dogs (2) running thru the property as I did deer. In 4 days hunting 1 saw one fawn. My friend and I booked a 5 day hunt but we left after 4 days because there were absolutely no deer on the property. There was not even sign of deer. No droppings, no tracks. It was the middle of October and the first few days were a little warm but then a cold front came in with highs in the low 50s and still no deer

To start with this is a do it yourself hunt, the website plainly states that. I'll be honest after reading the two reviews that were left a week or so before we got here, I started to think what have I got myself into. Totally not the case. (When we got here there was trash in a few of the houses and we could track the previous hunters by what they left on the ground easier than we could track the deer. Maybe that's why they didn't see anything?) Anyway, the property is laid out well and all of the food plots were full except for one being a little thin but thats the one I saw the biggest buck

I've been coming down to Kentucky deer hunting outfitters for about 5 years now! I've been hunting now for 34 years in Michigan and Colorado. This place has some of the best white tail bucks I have seen in all of Kentucky! I have harvested some of the most challenging big bucks that were 110% worth the time and effort put into hunting. Amazing hunting land and great food plots. Well worth the trip and money!

I hunted this ranch last fall and it was perfect. Ive hunted Michigan deer for 34 years, have planted my own food plots for the last eight years, and I havent come close to the types of plots the owner has here. I also liked that the owner gave me a full tour of the property and then let me decide how I wanted to hunt it. I was able to pick the plots I hunted over just by looking at the deer sign. I have shot nice bucks in Michigan but I saw more and bigger bucks on this property during my 3 day hunt than Ive seen in Michigan in the last 10 years. I am definitely going back this fall.

My husband and I had the privilege of staying at the cabin on the property in January 2021. This was our second trip to this property. This property will test all your outdoor skills. James has the property set up for any wind at any elevation and who DOES NOT rely on a corn pile to keep his deer population there. I would recommend this block of woods to any serious bow hunter. You will not be disappointed!
