Let me start by saying Michael is very knowledgeable and gracious. We started off by looking at the property and deciding how to go about the hunt and locations. He knows his property like the back of his hand and it shows. He’s put countless time and effort into his area to make sure you have the best hunt and best time possible. He’ll try his best to get you on to something, and give you the highest possibility of success that he can. Thanks Mike for an amazing hunt. Will definitely be booking again and looking forward to another one.
Reviewed by Guest on September 2024Michael DCarey or CJ as he is better known, was a fantastic guest! I would welcome him again if he chooses Whispering Pines. CJ is a proficient bow hunter, very much an outdoorsmen and knowledgeable about the various plant species here on our property. He’s discussed bringing his son along to pass down the hunting sports to the next generation. I look forward to hosting him when he books again.

Mike D is a great host, easy to work with and provides a lot of High Value information for people who have never hunted on his property. Mike has incorporated information gathered from his years of hunting on the property. biologist and foresters to provide a visitor with high probability locations that increases the odds of seeing game animals. Mike has performed exhaustive work in preparing visitors with plenty of information to help them make informed decisions prior to and upon their arrival. Mike is easy to work with, very accommodating because I was dealing with varied weather forecasts, and helpful in the decision-making processes. Thank you for a great trip Charles Stanley
Reviewed by Guest on September 2024Michael DCharles S is an exceptional sportsman and a true professional in every respect. Throughout his time here, he was prompt and courteous, demonstrating a great deal of respect for both the process and the environment. Prior to his visit, I provided him with detailed planning information, and we worked together to monitor weather conditions and deer patterns. This preparation allowed us to place him in ideal stands, maximizing his chances for success. On this occasion, Charles chose to bow hunt, but he is equally proficient with a rifle. His experience extends across multiple species, including Whitetail deer, Mule deer, and Antelope, and he is also an enthusiastic and skilled fisherman. I highly recommend Charles and would gladly welcome him back anytime.

I am a military disabled veteran and property owner. My wife and I live on our property, so you will meet us when you come out. We are both fully retired and are working to improve our tract environmentally and through the game animals that live here.
I've been hunting since my teens (upland birds) in Connecticut. Deer hunting since my 20's and various other species when I get the chance. I took my first two-phase black bear (Chocolate/blonde) in Manitoba in May '23, my first tom turkey on our own property (20 lb w/ 9 1/2in beard and 3/4 in spurs), I've taken hogs in SC & GA; Geese & sea ducks in VA; and have been Elk hunting in Mt and Carabou hunting in Alaska.
My goal is to give you a semi-guided hunt at self-guided prices. I want to hear the story from start to finish of your experience or even more so your son/daughter, grandchild harvested their first here with us at Whispering Pines.
