NOTES ON GUN HUNTS
Prior to 2023, we have not offered any gun hunts publicly since 2018, and before that we have had very few gun hunters. So, we are in great need of some harvested firearm deer to fill up this page. Running mostly all archery hunts since 2016, our farms have been left as sanctuaries for deer during gun season for the most part. That along with an improved food plot system incorporating standing grain and winter greens, we had a solid 2023 gun season where we had a very high kill percentage, 90%. 2024 gun season is happening now through January 10, 2025. Will update in January 2025 following the season closing.
