Your next hunt starts here.

Across 1,500+ acres, rolling ridges give way to sheltered river bottoms. Quality forage, secure cover, carefully selected stands and limited hunting pressure shape our approach to deer hunting.

Our limited seasonal hunter numbers help us preserve a quiet, carefully managed experience. Call John to discuss your preferred dates and your hunt, or reserve an available arrival date online. No Sunday hunting. Every hunt is fair chase; sightings and harvest are not guaranteed.
