I do not recommend this outfitter

Every stand I sat I squeaked. Was impossible to move if deer were close. Every stand you had to go up and down in to put up a hook and a bow rope. Lot of extra moving and noise especially in the morning. Was never notified I had to shoot a 140 class buck when I signed up.I shot a 129 inch buck at 49 yards. Got yelled at because I got out of my stand at dark. I thought I missed. No phone service so guide told me to get a better network. I said works good in Michigan. Tracked deer next day and I suggested we use toilet paper to mark blood. Guide Maynard said no we don't do that and litter. Needless ttoday we got confused on which blood was new and old. Told ya. Then blood got watery so I said he just moved its fresh lets bqckout. 30 yards later we kicked him up. Next day for some reason everyone brought toilet paper. I could tell the buck 2as gonna die because it never stopped bleeding completely. I guaranteed he was by water. Guide Maynard said no its to far away. Sure enough he was in the water dead. Food great and lodging great. Guides were nice bit for that price of a hunt squeaky stands out of the question. I asked guides about trail cam photos they kept sending me where were those bucks and stands at. No one had a answer. By the way I was only one in camp who got a deer.
