Early Rut Whitetail Buck Hunt Package (Guide Assisted)
This is open to hunt from October 26 - Novmber 6.
This is the peak time to hunt bucks in this area of the entire season. They are in the seeking phase and we have always gotten good bucks through the property during these times through daylight hours of either AM or PM.
I am offering an Early Rut Buck Hunt tailored for those seeking a personalized experience with a guide-assisted hunt. As part of this package, you’ll receive detailed information ahead of time, including property photos, hunting locations, and exclusive tips to prepare you for your hunt. Upon arrival, I will personally provide the best location to hunt, factoring in the current weather and wind conditions to maximize your chances of success.
What’s Included:
- Personalized Hunting Plan: Each hunter will receive a custom hunting plan based on daily weather and wind conditions, as well as recommendations for the best times and days for higher activity.
- Pre-Hunt Support: Before your arrival, I will share photos and detailed property information so you can familiarize yourself with the terrain.
- On-Site Crossbow: A crossbow is available for hunters upon request, and you'll have access to a high quality target allowing for some practice before your hunt. NOTE: Pre-arrangements need to be made prior to arrival if the TenPoint Vengent S440 Crossbow (440 fps) will be used. A liability waiver form will need to be signed and some expenses may be incurred with any arrows and broadheads that are shot from the bow.
- Scent Control: A Scentlok radial nano ozone generator will be available to help minimize human scent, ensuring a stealthy hunt. We also recommend a scent-control shower before heading out, and we have a strict no smoking or alcohol policy to avoid disrupting wildlife activity.
- Recovery Assistance: Should you successfully harvest a buck, or in the event an animal needs recovery, I will assist with a UTV 4x4 and winch. For wounded animals, a thermal drone is available for an additional fee of $400. A standard drone with a 4K camera can also be utilized at no extra cost.
- Guide Assisted: I have been a hunter for many years. I have had a good deal of success. I will offer the knowledge I have to help you be successful at this property. With each property hunted, after a few years, you can more easily predict patterns, and recognize nuances that exist. I will give the best advice I can based on my past experiences hunting this property. Guide-assisted means, information will be shared, but you will hunt alone. Real time communication may also occur when I am available. Again, I want this to be the best hunt of your life, and will do everything I can to help you be successful.

Food Plots and Natural Forage
The food plot is the location of the hunting zones. The plot is a 50-75 yd wide strip of field between two areas of woods. This year we broke this field strip into 3 sections. One is Cave-in-Rock Switchgrass to provide cover for the deer. The second section is a food plot. We tilled it and planted a food/cover mix called Buck Draw. Buck Draw is a mix of warm season tall growing forages, including grain sorghum, sunflower, Sunn Hemp, Lab Lab, winter peas, and forage soybeans, providing an excellent long season high protein food source. The last section will be turned into a fall plot with Bison Mix. Bison Fall Mix is a smorgasbord of forages providing nutrition throughout multiple seasons while enhancing soil at the same time. It is a mix of grains, brassicas, and clovers that have many different benefits during different seasons. An overseed planting will be done with Crimp-n-Grains. Crimp’N Grains is a mix consisting of winter wheat, winter grain rye and buckwheat. These plots will ensure the deer have something to forage on from summer through spring.
Ponds and Springs
There is a highwall on the property. Below the highwall is a pond. Usually this water is not as good, because it becomes stagnant. Because of this, we dug a wildlife pond that is spring fed. It is over the hill below the food plot area. The deer and wildlife use it a lot for fresh water to drink.
Woods, Draws, Shelter Belt, Grasslands, Brush, and Hills
Due to the size of this property, we have very strategically created access points to the hunting zone so as not to disturb the deer bedded on the property. Most of the neighboring property is a dense wooded "holding area". The success of our setup has been remarkable. On our property, there are dense areas, areas that provide cover and protection, there is a protected "bench" or area along the side of a hill that the deer like to bed on.

Bio
As a young married man with three beautiful children, my passion for the outdoors has been pretty much lifelong. This love for nature and a slower pace of life fuels my desire to share with others the experiences I've enjoyed.
Observing animals and birds as they go about their existence is grounding and captivates me. I enjoy shooting guns, riding four-wheelers, camping, and striving towards self-sufficiency in life's basic needs.
Its always a joy when I can take a young person hunting and help them tag their first animal!
