Thanks to their Kentucky department of Fish and Game, Kentucky is fast becoming a consistant producer of trophy bucks. With the one buck limit many of Kentucky's bucks make it past 2½ years of age allowing many to mature and grow into trophy bucks. </FONT></div> <bR> <div> You will be the judge of your trophy buck.They will not limit you on a spread measurement or point restriction, nor will they penalize you for taking any deer. If you hunt with them they have one goal in mind, that<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> is to put you on a trophy buck. </div> <bR> <div> Their buck hunts take place on twelve farms that spans three counties, totaling over 3,400 private acres. All stand sites are fresh. They stay on top of the deer on their properties and move stands accordingly. Many times they will take you into an area and hang a stand just prior to your hunt. This will afford you that first time chance that is so often your best chance at taking that trophy buck.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT>They know where the deer will be throughout their entire season. </div> <bR> <div> If you are looking for heated blinds, fenced deer and 4 wheeler rides to your stand location, they're not likely what you </div> <div> are looking for. All of their properties are very scenic and are either owned by them, or exclusively leased by them under strict management practices. The hunting practices on these properties ensures quality game and trophy animals. The hunts are fair chase hunts for wild game in wild and scenic farm country. There are no high fences, and it is not a game farm. This is hunting as it was meant to be! </div> <bR> <div> If you have a physical ailment that prevents you from making the walk or climb they will try to accommodate that. All </div> <div> tree stand hunters will be required to wear a safety harness, or the hunt will be abandoned. You can choose to use their stands or hunt from your own. They will work to cater to your style of hunting, whether it would be spot and stalking, still hunting or from a blind or stand. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="1763c8d40.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="212" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="1764b7d70.jpg" border=0 width="183" height="215" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="176509d50.jpg" border=0 width="265" height="213" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> 2009 Hunt Prices </div> <div> The Kentucky archery season runs from early September to mid -January. Typically their early archery season provides some good hunting on bucks that have been well patterned and not pressured. October provides good hunting during the annual crop harvesting where deer can be hunted between feeding and bedding areas. October is also a time to hunt </div> <div> pre-rut whitetails. During this time they will hunt bottlenecks and saddles that are showing signs of buck activity. </div> <div> Early Nov. provides for the best hunting. This is the first time they will be offering bowhunting during their state firearm season in an "archery only" area. Hunter orange is equired during this time. They will establish what they feel is a standard (score) for the bucks on the property you are hunting.It is your decision to decide what is and is not a trophy in your book. They do not make that choice for you, nor do they penalize you for taking a smaller buck.<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > They</FONT> would prefer to see the buttons, spikes and forkies walk, but they won't fine you for harvesting one. They know what their leases can and cannot support in way of harvests.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <U>2009 Western Kentucky </U></div> <div> <U>Trophy Buck Hunts</U><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> <U>Archery, Crossbow, Muzzleloader,Rifle </U></div> <div> The Kentucky Archery season runs from early September to mid January. </div> <bR> <div> For the 2009 season we will not change prices. These hunts will remain limited in numbers and bookings will continue to weigh heavily toward archery hunts. Today we hunt just over 3,400 acres on twelve farms and across 3 counties. </div> <bR> <div> Having a number of properties allows us to spread out hunting which helps control and reduce hunting pressure in general. This also allows us to take advantage of certain activities and patterns several times a year. A perfect example is being able to hunt a "Fresh" harvested corn field pattern multiple times from mid to late September until mid to late October. Having your land in one location and limited sources of agriculture does not support this. Same goes for soy beans. Plantings can be staggered so bean fields remain green and active well into September which has proved great success for us and accounted for putting double digit numbers of bucks in the P&Y books. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Below is a list of hunts we are offering for the 2009 season. We have changed up some of our hunt formats but have not moved away from limiting the number of hunters we book for each hunt. </B></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>September 2009</B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Typically the early archery season provides some great hunting on bucks that have been well patterned and have not been pressured.</div> <bR> <div> <B>September 5th-6th-7th-8th -</B> This hunt can be a 4-day hunt at the rate of $700 or a 3-day hunt for $550. <I><B>We will book only 4 Archers for this hunt.</B></I> If you choose this hunt you will be hunting one of the earliest seasons in the country. You will be hunting for P&Y class bucks at a time when they could still be in full velvet. The first 2 weeks of the season is your best chance at taking a buck in full velvet and we suggest anyone wanting a buck in velvet choose this hunt for their best opportunity.

You will be hunting early season P&Y class bucks that are feeding on the rich soybeans of west Kentucky. We will have these bucks patterned and stands in place. Due to high temps, this hunt mostly involves hunting the first few hours of daylight and last light of the day. Bring your Thermacell. Generally we see the deer changing food sources as we get into late Sept. along with their daily patterns. A <B>$250</B> non-refundable deposit is required to hold your hunt dates.

This hunt is a 3-day hunt still centered around food sources. Bucks will have shed their velvet by now and began establishing their own core areas. Food sources at this time can continue to be soy beans, soft mass, corn and it's not unusual to have some acorns on the ground. We will have these bucks patterned and stands in place. Temperatures can still be on the hot side and most activity will be early and late in the day. This is the time when food sources can change quickly and a spur in activity resulting from a corn field being cut or a oak dropping acorns.

This hunt is geared to Youth just getting started in hunting and covers the 2-day hunt for 1 Youth. This hunt involves setups in high traveled areas that almost guarantee deer movement. This is not a doe only hunt.

Typically the 3rd weekend in October, this is when many of our bucks begin making rubs and scrapes visible </div> <div> in our hunting areas. Hunting rub lines can be successful, as well as hunting food sources and prime bedding/feeding travel areas. Light rattling can also be productive at this time of the year and the use of grunt tubes.

The 3-day hunt is $600. If you are a bow bender, this is a great time to be in the woods in West Kentucky. Each and every year the beginning of our rut start to take shape during this time. Trophy Bucks become more active and begin making their statements, making rubs, scrapes, responding to grunting, doe bleats and rattling can be affective during this time as well. Warm weather can take its toll, but we traditionally see good action during this time of the year. A <B>$250</B> non-refundable deposit is required to hold your dates.

These hunts proceed the State firearm opener. This time typically covers the rut in Kentucky from chasing to the peek breeding period. A lot of chasing takes place during this week. Bucks are more active by the day. They are cruising for does, making rubs, checking scrapes and responding to calls. The earlier part of this period supports success with rattling and decoying. Arguably this is one of the best times to arrow a trophy buck. This is a 3 -day hunt unless otherwise arranged. A <B>$300</B> non-refundable deposit is required to hold your dates.

A 3-day hunt runs $700. </div> <div> Most years we will see a 2nd rut during this time. Many bucks will be trailing does and checking areas that does are feeding/bedding trying to find the doe coming into heat for a second time.

Any 3-day archery hunt during this time is $150 per day. This hunt isn't cheap because it's a bad hunt. We just understand bow hunting and know after pressure from the rifle season hunting gets tougher. The woods are open, temps are usually cold and the weather can be pretty harsh. Most deer are just trying to feed and keeping out of the elements. We will continue to harvest deer right on up until the last day of season. We see our lowest success on bucks on this hunt, but </div> <div> the potential is there to tag a great buck. Most bucks are focusing on feeding if they are not laid up. We will hunt tight to bedding areas or food sources. Both these tactics will give you the greatest chance at harvesting a late season buck.
