Tree Stands

Our tree stands are accommodating for all styles of hunting. We have ladder stands for archery or close range hunting, and we have multiple types of tower stands. Some of our tower stands are open topped and provide a sturdy shooting rest for both rifles and crossbows. Most of these stands are for two occupants, you and your guide. The open top allows for you to see and hear everything that is happening around you. In these stands you must sit very still to avoid being seen. If the weather turns nasty, or we want to hunt with three people (two hunters and the guide) we do have one fully enclosed Banks stand, and a three person custom tower stand with a elevated roof. All of our tower stands have the capability to be heated should the temperature drop.

Lodging

Lodging is available if you want to take advantage of it! We have a 26 foot camper that our hunters stay in. There is also a fully functional bathroom in our 36x80’ shop. The camper is just steps away from the shop where some of the meals take place, as well as the processing of the harvested animal. All meals are home made, and many of them take place on our Traeger Smoker. We typically smoke meat at least once per hunt, whether it’s pork loin, ribs, or breakfast sausage, our home cooking will leave you full and ready for a good nights rest after the long day out in the field.

Harvesting your buck of a lifetime

Upon Harvesting your buck of a lifetime the evening will progress quickly. Depending on daylight available, other hunters in the field, and the weather, we may begin looking for your harvest right away! Once we approach the downed deer (and make sure its down) we will begin a photo session of you and your trophy! We take photos with multiple cameras, including your phone and/or camera if possible. After photos we will take the harvest back to the shop, and commence with the processing of the deer. This includes getting the live weight of the deer, field dressing it, skinning and quartering, and caping out the head. Once everything is taxidermy ready, we will score the buck and determine the final cost of the hunt. We ask that each hunter brings enough coolers to put the quarters in (large coolers as some of our bucks have weighed in at 360 pounds). The antlers and cape will be taxidermy ready by the time we are done.

Pricing and Other Information

Our 2023 hunting prices are now better then ever! Here is why! When we first started our hunting preserve, it took us 4-5 years to grow a 180" buck. Now, with better genetics through artificial insemination, our two year old bucks are routinely over 200 inches! So fewer years to grow a trophy buck, means less feed, less opportunity for self injury or death, and less overall expense. Our new 2023 price list reflects these savings! Under 160” $3,600 160-170” $4,000 171-180” $4,500 181-190” $5,200 191-200” $5,800 201-225” $6,500 226-250” $7,400 251-275” $8,400 276-300” $9,400 Anything scoring over 300” or even over 400” will be priced out and agreed upon before the hunt. *These prices are considered the normal prices; however, an extermely narrow buck, or a buck with a known broken tine, can be adjusted at a discounted price. This price exception does work both ways, an exceptionally clean typical buck, or extremely unique buck can be prieadjusted upwards and will be agreed upon prior to the hunt. These price exceptions or variations are extremely rare and have not happened in the upward direction yet to date; however, we still reserve the right to price adjust on a truely unique deer.
