I called Michael and told him that I would like to put my son on a big buck. He had been putting long hours in the stands with no success where we live. Michael took on the challenge and worked tirelessly to make it happen. Always adapting to the current conditions and weather and making the moves necessary to put Hunter on the buck of his dreams.
Michael, you’re a class act. Thank you again! Came in as strangers, left as friends. I highly recommend this outfit.

I would recommend Michael and his team if you want an outstanding hunting experience. They did a great job at making us feel welcome and helped create a family type atmosphere that put me at ease being my son's first guided hunting experience. Thanks to Michael and his team, my son and myself both took down two nice bucks and created memories we'll never forget. We will definitely return!

Michael and Ryan did a great job putting us on deer in tough late season conditions. Very laid back, small family environment. Me and my two sons really enjoyed the time together, hopefully we can get back next year.

I've hunted all over the mountains of the East coast, and this place is one of, if not the best. Michael and Ryan really know their properties inside and out, and are some of the most down to earth people you'll ever met. If I could've 6 stars, I would.

Had a great time hunting with this outfitter. Guys are knowledgeable and put you on the deer. Several guys killed nice bucks including myself. I could see returning here in the future several times. Accommodations are the best I have ever stayed in at a camp and everything was very clean. It was great to come into a home cooked meal in the evenings after a day in the woods. They also did a great job of handling the deer and getting it ready for you to take home.

Got to say a very outstanding setup. Mike has some great quality deer on his property. He does his homework and puts you in the best situation to see and harvest good deer. Between me and my buddy that went our first day out between us we seen 57 deer probably some were the same deer, but it was outstanding. Seen couple shooters just didn’t have the opportunity to shoot them. Mike really takes the time and effort to putting you in great situation to harvest some outstanding quality deer. Mike and the staff do a great job taking care of you and feeding you and making you feel at home. After coming in from hunting they have great meals ready for you couldn’t ask for better hospitality. Definitely recommend hunting at Whitetail Hunting Kentucky.

Great experience. Hunted archery early season and Michael had numerous good locations as options given the changing weather. Lodge is great and most hunting locations are not far from the lodge. I'll definitely be back.
