Hunter Comments
I do not recommend this outfitter

First week rifle 2022. Advertised max hunters in camp any giving week was 12 ( web site) 20 hunters in camp . Previous week 31. Myself and my hunting partner sat for the first two days in blinds and saw 1 doe. WE are both avid experienced deer hunters (have hunted with other outfitters) and asked to be moved. No one in camp was seeing any deer,3-4th day we saw a total on 6 does and one 4 pt buck. We left a day early along with a few other hunters. I deer was shot (138 inch) 5% success rate. After speaking with the guides (non licensed) this the norm with this outfitter. Overbooking hunters, small tracks of woods bordered by state or local hunters,(allot of shooting by others) Very bad communication with hunters (no cell service) no radios provided. Made a few friends (other hunters) great food and lodging but very disappointed with the hunting opportunities and management of this outfitter. Seems like negative comments by hunters on their Facebook page have also been deleted.

Was the outfitter notified of problems? - YES
