Kentucky whitetail outfitters

Guided trophy deer hunts on 5,000 private, QDMA-managed acres in the top Boone and Crockett producing region of northeastern Kentucky. Honest guides, a camp worth coming back to, and mature bucks.

A Kentucky deer outfitter run by locals

Neil Kendall has hunted this country for over 40 years, and our guides grew up on the same ridges. That matters when the wind switches at noon and you need a second option a half mile away, we already know where it is.

Managed for mature bucks, not numbers

We pass young deer, plant and rotate food plots, and keep pressure deliberately low. The 5K buck is the clearest example: we let him walk an extra year to reach his full potential. That patience is what puts trophy-class deer in front of our hunters.

Guided, semi-guided, or self-guided

All-inclusive guided hunts are the most popular, but experienced hunters who want to run their own show can book self-guided access to managed properties. Youth hunts, turkey hunts, and private-camp bookings for groups are all available.

Booking your dates

Opening bow week, early November rut, and opening gun week fill first, often a full season ahead. Reserve online with a 10% deposit or call Neil to talk through which week fits how you hunt.

Kentucky guided hunts and pricing

Common questions

What does a guided Kentucky whitetail hunt cost?
Our Kentucky hunts run from $1,400 for a self-guided week to $4,500 for an all-inclusive opening rut or gun hunt. A 10% deposit holds your dates and the balance is due when you arrive at camp.
How much land do you hunt?
We manage roughly 5,000 acres of private northeastern Kentucky ground under QDMA principles, with food plots, controlled pressure, and age-structure discipline so bucks reach maturity.
How many hunters are in camp at once?
We cap each week so every hunter has their own set of stands and untouched access routes. Group sizes are listed on each hunt page, and private-camp bookings are available for parties.
What is your success rate?
About 90% of our hunters rebook, which is the number we care most about. Opportunity at a mature buck is high during our rut and opening gun weeks; harvest depends on weather, the hunter, and the shot.
