EARLY BOOKING DEAL November Rifle Hunt
More about us
- Our deer hunting ranch is about hunting and a connection with the outdoors. There are many great outfitters to choose from; it’s a difficult process. I will make it simple - we do not offer all the great services others do.
- We put in the work in the off-season on the 8-9 food plots and fill 5 auto-corn feeders nearly year-round. You show up and do the work of hunting. We do not walk you to your stands or cook food for you.
- The catch is that you just get the benefits of my deer management expertise indirectly. Our property is done to the best of any standard when it comes to food plots and not allowing kids and grand-kids on the property riding side-by-side in the off-season.
- I am a school teacher by day, so responding to any questions cannot get done until after 4pm. People ask if there are veteran discounts, and I politely say everyone gets one since I am a veteran who keeps things reasonably priced.
- You’ll be provided a map that show trails to access all the food plots, ladders stand locations on most food plots, elevated box blinds, 5 auto feeder locations, what's in each food plot, where the ladder stands are at on food plots, cabin location, etc.
- My lodging is not high-end. It’s basically a permanent spike camp/glorified camping with heat, gas cookstove, and a gas grill outside, with the basics and you feel like you’re out in rugged deer hunting country.
- Quality deer and land management is key for our Bluegrass state to continue the excellent hunting culture we currently boast.
- 1 buck per hunter is state law and Kentucky's gun season in most zones is only around 14 days!

Cancellation
- BASIC REFUND POLICY:
- Work with me and I will work with you. If you cancel outside of 60 days to your hunting date, 100% of your deposit will be applied to the same hunt next year. If you need to cancel 60 days prior to your arrival, give me a heads up. Your reserved hunt is valuable, and I can likely sell the hunt to someone else and give you the money. Hopefully, you rebook the following year.
- Unrealistically speaking, upon an alien invasion, nuclear war, virus outbreak, or asteroid impact, there are no refunds. I did have people worrying about a virus being in the woods; however, even Dr. Fauci will admit hunting for food in the woods is safer the flocking by the millions to Walmart for food.
Wounding
- It happens. If you have better than a teaching job like me, go buy a Johnny Walker Blue and have a few sipping shots yourselves and leave the bottle for me.
- If you shoot an undersized buck by mistake, it is still a trophy for most people. Your penalty - go buy a Johnny Walker Blue, have a few sipping shots yourselves, and leave the bottle for me. Hunting is supposed to be always great, even when you miss or misjudge (it happens.) If you like Johnny Walker Blue, buy some for your trip, and leave a little for me (you see the theme.)

Big Game
Big game in Kentucky includes white-tailed deer, elk, black bear, and wild turkey (turkey is often considered big game in KY regulations, though biologically a bird). Kentucky’s approach to big game is a mix of readily available licenses for common species (deer, turkey) and highly restricted draws for elk (and a small bear hunt with permits).
Deer: Deer licenses (permits) are available over the counter – there is no draw for deer. Both residents and non-residents must purchase a statewide deer permit in addition to their hunting license to hunt deer
Deer season structure: archery (long season, Sept–Jan), crossbow, muzzleloader, and modern firearm seasons are set by zone, but permits cover them all. There are special youth firearm weekends and quota hunts on some public lands, but no lottery is needed for general deer tags.
Turkey: Wild turkey are abundant. No draw – but hunters must have a Turkey Permit (available OTC) All harvested turkeys must be telechecked (reported).
Elk: Kentucky has a limited elk herd in the southeast region (the “elk zone”). Hunting elk in KY is
only possible by obtaining a special elk permit through the Kentucky Elk Draw (lottery).
Applications are open from January 1 through April 30 each year, and anyone (resident or non-resident) can
apply
for a small fee. The drawing is conducted in May; results are posted by mid-May. If
drawn, the hunter must then purchase the actual Elk Hunting Permit. Drawn hunters are assigned to a specific
Elk Hunt Area and a week window to hunt. The elk hunt is considered once-in-a-lifetime; if you’re drawn (and
purchase the permit), you cannot enter the drawing again for a decade.
Black Bear: Kentucky reinstated bear hunting in recent years in designated Bear Zones (primarily in parts of eastern Kentucky). Bear hunting is limited-entry by permits, but not a preseason lottery; instead, it’s managed by quotas and permit purchases. Hunters must buy a Bear Permit (OTC, but with a cap on number sold to non-residents). Bear hunting in KY is still relatively limited; harvest numbers are small (dozens of bears). All bear hunters must telecheck their bear and within 24 hours have the bear physically checked by biologists.
Kentucky also classifies bobcat and otter as furbearer species with set seasons, but those are not “big game” and are covered by the hunting license (with a permit and check requirement for otter). Wild hogs (feral pigs) are present in Kentucky in low numbers; they are invasive and may be killed year-round with no bag limit (no license required on private land for wild hogs, as they are considered nuisance animals – in fact, KY encourages reporting of wild hogs).
Small Game
Kentucky has a rich variety of small game and game bird hunting, with seasons for squirrels, rabbits, bobwhite quail, ruffed grouse (limited), waterfowl (ducks, geese), doves, woodcock, and other migratory birds. Small game hunting in Kentucky is generally accessible over the counter; you just need the appropriate license and perhaps a couple of permits for specific activities:
- A basic Annual Hunting License allows you to hunt small game (rabbit, squirrel, grouse, etc.) statewide by gun, bow, or other legal methods
- Kentucky Migratory Bird/Waterfowl Permit. This is obtained OTC and is combined for both upland migratory (dove, woodcock) and waterfowl.
- Federal Duck Stamp: Required for all waterfowl hunters 16 and older, as federally mandated.
- Sandhill Crane Permit: Kentucky has a very limited sandhill crane hunting season in some counties. To participate, a hunter must apply for a special sandhill crane draw.
Documents that you need for hunting in Kentucky:
- Kentucky Hunting License – All hunters age 16 or older must have a valid license (resident or non-resident as appropriate) to hunt small game or big game. Youth 12–15 need a youth license and children under 12 are license-exempt for hunting
- Species Permits
- Hunter Education Card. (Kids under 12 may hunt without hunter ed as long as they are with an adult; also first-time hunters of any age can get a one-time Hunter Ed Exemption Permit which allows hunting for up to a year under adult supervision)
- Harvest Log & Telecheck Confirmation – Upon harvesting deer, turkey, elk, or bear, Kentucky hunters must fill out a harvest log (on the back of your license or on a card) immediately, and then Telecheck the harvest (report via phone or online) on the day of harvest.
Minimum Hunter Age
Kentucky has no minimum age for hunting, but it regulates youth hunting through license exemptions and supervision requirements. Children under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult who meets hunter education requirements.
