2022 Rates
2022 hunts will run Sunday thru Friday, with Sunday being set-up day. We do have harvest guidelines. Under our Quality Deer Management program, a “shooter” buck is defined as one that scores at least 135 Pope & Young. A $600 fee will be applied for each buck harvested below these minimum requirements. We offer semi-guided archery and firearm hunts as well as muzzleloader and combo hunts.
