September – December
For years, serious trophy hunters have been traveling to central Kentucky in pursuit of true, top end whitetail bucks. The results speak for themselves, as hunters consistently see and shoot mature deer with annual opportunities on bucks ranging from the mid 140s to well over 170 inches and the real potential for something special every season.
Hunting takes place on thousands of acres of carefully managed private farmland spread across 10 of Kentucky’s most productive whitetail counties. This region is renowned for growing big deer thanks to its diverse habitat. Agricultural fields, thick cedar cover, swampland, rolling hills, and limestone creek bottoms all combine to create ideal conditions for producing heavy horned, mature bucks.
In addition to these prime leased farms, the operation maintains hundreds of acres of food plots and feed sites that are strategically designed to create natural movement and predictable patterns between bedding and feeding areas. This setup is ideal for targeting older age class deer.
From early season velvet archery hunts through the peak of the rut with rifle and into late season muzzleloader hunts in December, Kentucky offers flexible timing for even the busiest hunters. Every guide is experienced, driven, and focused on one goal, putting clients in front of the biggest buck possible.
After the hunt, relax in a deluxe lodge featuring six bedrooms, three baths, and hearty home cooked meals. As a bonus, several of Kentucky’s famous bourbon distilleries are just a short drive away.
If you are ready to step up your expectations and chase a higher caliber of whitetail, Kentucky delivers. This is a hunt built for hunters who want more and it will not disappoint.
