HUNT POLICIES AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Fair Chase: As every hunter knows, there are no guarantees in hunting. I want everyone to understand that "WE ARE NOT SELLING YOU A DEER WE ARE SELLING YOU A HUNT". Our deer are 100% wild and unfortunately some folks are going to go home empty handed.
Weather: Unfortunately we have no control over Mother Nature, so the best avenue to take concerning the weather is “be prepared”. Kentucky is notorious for being a transitional state. It’s where things happen. Fronts make it through and that brings us the possibility of severe weather, torrential rain, snow and of course “wind”. The wind and associated weather will affect us more so than the deer. They are used to it and they will carry out their normal daily routine.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR CANCELLED HUNTS FOR ANY REASON. NO RATE REDUCTIONS OR EXTRA DAYS WILL BE GIVEN IF HUNTERS LEAVE BEFORE THE CONCLUSION OF THEIR HUNT DUE TO PERSONAL OR WEATHER RELATED ISSUES. We recommend you consider purchasing a trip insurance policy in the event you are unable to make your trip due to work, injury, illness, etc.
Safety Harnesses: All of our stands are setup with a life line that extends from the ground to the stand and everybody will be required to wear a safety harness and to use the life lines. The system is very simple and effective and the life that it saves might be yours. We all owe it to our loved one’s to be as safe as possible while we’re in the outdoors so that we can return home safe and sound.
After the shot: First and foremost. Calm down and savor the moment. If you can, watch the path your deer takes and try to remember some key geographical features the deer passes near. Do not leave your stand!! There is no need to get down and to start tracking. To do so is actually counterproductive to the ultimate recovery of your trophy. We have Vars our tracking dog and he will find your deer. When you get down and attempt to track your deer you will always transfer some scent from your deer to you and Vars will have to sort out the added part of the puzzle before he can actually start tracking your deer. He will follow the scent from your clothes/boots anywhere you walk. To him scent is scent. He will figure it out but this backtracking can be avoided totally if you will leave the tracking to us.
Hunters are responsible for processing their deer. At camp we have a skinning rack, cutting table and freezer space. If you do not wish to process your deer there is a processor nearby. Hunters are responsible for processing fees.
Some states will not allow re-entry with an animal carcass that has the skull attached (CWD) and in that case we have a taxidermist nearby that will fully cape your buck for a fee.
