Q: What else can I shoot during deer season?
A: During part of bow season, you can take a turkey IF you have Fall Turkey Tag, wild boar & coyote. It is our policy that if a hunter takes a coyote, he or she receives a day of free hunting for the following season. 

Q: Is there a trophy fee or any other hidden cost?
A: No, we are a fair chase guide service, and we follow the rules set forth by the ODNR & set no others. If the deer is the one you want take the shot. 

Q: What is your harvest to hunter ratio?
A: This is a very common and question. The best way I know to answer it is to ask you to contact someone on our reference page. We have high percentage of repeat customers, some for six years straight. Word of mouth is a tool we like to use. Some of our hunters pass up deer that you might take in a heart beat. 

Q: How much land do you have to hunt and how many hunters are on that land?
A: We add hunting land as we need to, we now control around 3000 acres of prime deer & turkey habitat. We lease hunting sites from 100 to 300 acres farms and forest. This allows us to not over pressure our hunting sites. We do not put anyone from any other group on a site that you are hunting. We also try to let a site be unhunted between hunting groups. 

Q: How do you decide what sites are to be hunted?
A: We scout the sites for deer/turkey sign & physical condition of our customers. It is our job and our #1 goal to put you on the site where you can be successful. 

Q: Can we use screw in steps?
A: On some sites you can & others you can’t. “Ask first”
