I hunted wih them two years 05 and 06. Out of 4 camps and 12-16 hunters per camp each year only 4 deer were taken and none were the minimum requirement P&Y. They have a couple of farms that sport quite a few deer and some with size. However on these farms the stands are set up for viewing. When we notified Mr. Ward we were not happy after the third day of the second year. we never were spoken to by him again. I find their website pics. to be very supicious and recognize several of the hunters in them as their guides. The first year I hunted 6 deer showed up on the website as taken that week and there were only 2. If you do the math there are some 400 hunters each year and about 6% sucess. Just a little bit under what they claim!! I later found the violations they have been charged with. Several for illegal activities involving deer.
The word is steer clear. IMO

None to date. If you are the outfitter please email us.
The first year the weather was a little warm, but we saw more deer and quality size Than the second year which was during the rut and almost perfect weather.
