What Kentucky Outfitter Should I Use?
Trophy deer hunting a year-round managed land is done because your time is precious. Look through our TOP 30 PICKS here. How to choose a Kentucky hunting outfitter & Kentucky Hunting Guides
Kentucky Turkey Hunting
Looking for just Kentucky deer hunting leases? Not all Kentucky deer hunting outfitters offer the same services. KYTurkey season.
Kentucky Deer Hunts
Kentucky outfitters strive for repeat business. It's a balance of a good hunt, quality service, good food, good amenities, and price. There is no "best outfitter". The "best" would be a 100,000 acre high fence preserve that only allows 1 hunter every 5 years for 5 dollars.
Professional Hunting Guide Service
Hunting Guide Service
Do you need a professional hunting guide service for your Kentucky deer hunt? All things being equal, why not? To pretend going on a paid hunting trip is like choosing what to buy at McDonald’s is not realistic. Kentucky deer hunting and Kentucky turkey hunting cost money and you need to decide what works best for you and your hunting style. With so much time and effort spent finding, planning, buying equipment, licenses, etc., why not spend a little extra to add to your success rate and enjoyment? This is a vacation too! When you factor in costs store bought food, restaurants, hotels, driving back and forth, etc., I think you’ll find the added costs of a full-service Kentucky hunting outfitter to be well worth it. There are added factors involved with having an owner and/or employees on site to assist you. This is just something I don't offer. The deer management and food plots are done, you just come and hunt my place
Bow Hunting vs. Gun Hunting
There is no right or wrong opinion here. Outdoorsman and women come from all sort of different backgrounds. Some with more experience, some with more money, some with more time to spend in the woods, etc. It all adds up to deciding what Kentucky whitetail hunting trip you want to plan. Those with lots of deer hunting experience will probably have “progressed” to stalking and hunting smart bruiser bucks with a compound bow or muzzle-loader. In time, some people’s jobs are more demanding or hunters just don’t want to spend extra time in the woods as they used too. It’s a process of the outdoors, so when you see an older gentleman spending big bucks on a Kentucky trophy whitetail hunt sitting on well managed food plots for a 3 day hunt, he too was likely an avid young sportsman shooting a 240 fps bow back in the day! What we all need to realize is “time” is a defining part of our lives and we balance it by spending time in the outdoors.
Youth Deer Hunt
There are some parents that worry about the safety of their youth hunters in their quest to slay a bruiser Kentucky whitetail buck. Kentucky hunting seasons exists so that the kids get a chance in the woods prior to all the adult gun hunters. It serves a purpose to try to ignite a little spark of interest by offering young Kentucky hunters a legitimate chance and shooting a nice big deer prior to the seasonal culling of many bucks. During Kentucky’s youth deer hunting season is one of the best times to deer hunt. Kids not having reached 16 years of age yet can go out mid-October with an adult and hunt with a modern rifle. The kids are the first in the woods to be out there to have a range of 150-300 yards. Archary hunters of today talk about ethical shots at 60 yards, but they can reach 100 yards for an unethical shot. I’m just getting old because I remember when 40 yards was nice piece of work.

Going on paid Kentucky trophy deer hunts has evolved in the last decade. Between the internet and trail cameras, there has been an extreme morphing of the definition from trophy to a “participation trophy”. Where is a delicate balance of a good chance to shoot a trophy buck vs. a certainty of shooting a buck? At some point there is a transition from skilled Kentucky hunt to a trophy that represents your hobby and how you have succeeded in life financially. Deer hunting in Kentucky can offer many challenges and you need to decide how many of those challenges you have time to face taking off of work!
Success Rates – This is a common request hunters make to Kentucky deer hunting outfitters. It’s a fair question, but what that number suggests varies from outfitter to outfitter. Technically, is it a good harvest success rate if count shot does? Is it 100% if a hunter spends 100+ hours in the woods to only kill 1 buck? What if a seasoned trophy hunter passes up a 140 inch deer and doesn’t see anything else; should that Kentucky whitetail outfitter be penalized?
Opportunity Rates – This has become the norm that factors in missed shots, clients passing up shooter bucks, etc., so that it does not “penalize” the professional hunting guide service stats. In the scientific world, this statistic should morph into an hours hunted per killed buck ratio. Science? This is Kentucky deer hunting! Enjoy the outdoors.

The hunting trip in Kentucky is planned, but what Kentucky hunting outfitter is right for you? We know price is a #1 priority, but in a capitalistic society, great paid Kentucky deer hunts don’t always mesh up with the cheapest. There is state land that can be hunted, but the days of the old timers letting people hunt on the property they inherited or bought for $700 per acre are gone. Deer hunting in Kentucky has been impacted by the internet. The word is out! Land is valuable and so are antiques - thanks American Pickers.
- Just a few things you should consider before paying to go Kentucky deer hunting:
- What type of cabin do you want to stay in?
- Do you want food cooked for you?
- Do you want a professional guide service available?
- Do you want guarantees or a super high success rate?
- Do you want a “participation trophy” or a “hunting trophy”?
- What are your expectations for a Kentucky trophy whitetail?
- How many days do you have to hunt?
- Do you want to hunt over food plots or large farm fields?
You can find land to lease from an outfitter in a wide price range. You will need to search Kentucky hunting forums and read about ky deer hunting experiences to choose the hunt that is best for you.

If you’re the type of hunter looking for high success rates, the a Kentucky gun hunt should be for you! They do cost more money because of the shortened gun season in the state of Kentucky and the 1 buck limit, but it’s about striking a balance between time off and away from family.
From a 30-30 to a 300 Winchester Magnum, we all have our opinions on the best Kentucky deer hunting gun. Most of us Kentucky hunting outfitters will agree that the average shot taken during gun season is 74.3 yards. The need for a 6.5 Creedmoor precision hunting weapon would be for fun vs. being a requirement.
Whitetail hunting starts peaks in October and on through November. Of course the best time to hunt is any time you can. Some people, for discussion only for very few practice what they preach, focus on moon phases, weather patterns, etc.
Kentucky deer season is really great mid-November when the modern rifle season opens up. It will last for 10-14 days depending on what zone you hunt.
If you’re looking for trail cam photos, this too is one of the best times to get shots!

What's Included with a Kentucky Outfitter?
I didn’t know what an “outfitter” was until someone pointed out that I do the exact same things as an actual “Kentucky deer hunting outfitter”. So it’s fair to say that a lot of hunters aren’t really familiar with the term. There are even more people that may have heard of professional hunting guides or hunting outfitters, but the services they offer are across the board!
Here are a few things that are usually included in no particular order. ·
- Land to hunt
- Stands pre-hung + elevated blinds ·
- Scouting reports and suggestions on where to hunt
- Trail cam research
- Year-round feeding program / baiting
- Corn baiting for your upcoming hunt
- Food services
- Lodging availability
- Some assistance after the harvest
- Food plot program
There are Many Different Levels of Guide Services
There are many different levels and services of a professional hunting guide and a Kentucky outfitter.
If you’ve booked a Kentucky turkey hunt, certainly having a professional guide assist you with calling in the turkeys can be available. Does this cost extra money? Of course. Any time you need a human being to do things for you, it will cost extra money unless you refer to them as “Mom”. Is the extra money worth it? Of course. There are some people that need zero assistance and just want the property to be well managed with stands hung and send them out on their way. Other people do need some extra assistance whether it’s transportation to and from blinds or help with field dressing the animal.
Not all outfitters provide the same thing so it’s important you find out. Most people don’t need someone to tell them what way to look in a blind, but having an extra hand dragging a Kentucky trophy deer out of the woods and even getting the taxidermy taken as a “one-stop shop” are certainly nice amenities to have for you.
HOWEVER I WANT YOUR BUSINESS! Please text or call 270-996-2547.

What kind of land do you want to hunt? What type of hunting do you want to do? There is no right or wrong answer here. It really depends on your style and being honest with yourself. Ask yourself the following question: · Are you alert when you are out hunting? Be honest. Some people, like myself, like to shut your eyes and open them regularly. · Are you on your phone a lot texting people? Do you play video games? · Do you pay extra special attention to being as scent free as you can? · Can you shoot 250 yards? · What type of Kentucky trophy buck are you looking to harvest? · Do you enjoy hunting in thick woods…hearing deer walk, but not being able t see them? · Do you prefer being able to potentially see 30 deer in a corn field 500 yards away? · Do you have a personal belief that big deer don’t wonder into open corn fields during shooting hours? So ask yourself these things then determine what type of deer hunting in Kentucky you think would suit you the best?

Do you like hunting on or near corn auto-feeders? Do you like hunting from the ground? If you’re on your phone a lot, then you have something to do with your time and likely not to get frustrated sitting deep in the woods. The key is staying in the woods. Having a positive attitude and the drive to get out there early and leave late is really a big key in success. Open field hunting is fun. You can get a glimpse of deer running across a field. Who doesn’t like that! Some believe that monster bucks aren’t as likely to be hanging out in open fields after the gun shots start flying, so some like to mix it up or have the options to hunt in the woods. Deer habitat is important and there is zero habitat or cover for deer in open corn fields that have been harvested. But remember, those are huge sources of food for a lot of deer, so you know the big bucks aren’t that far away. If you prefer a wooded environment, you can still have 100’s of yards of range that you can see through. The leaves will be on the ground by mid-Novemeber, so you can see deer passing through out of range, it’s just you won’t be seeing deer 500-1000 yards away in a traditional farm field. Deer

Hunting in Kentucky maintains a sportsman-like level by introducing kids to the sport in a way they have a chance to out perform seasoned adult hunters. If you get a chance to allow your child to go on Kentucky deer hunt with an outfitter, all the work has been put in. Most properties cost $25,000 up to $100,000 per year just to own and keep the food plots going for good deer management. You do the math. Your child will be the first in the woods with a modern rifle for usually a price range from $1,000-$3,000. With the average cost of a Kentucky hunting outfitter being significant, I’m not sure if a Kentucky youth hunt isn’t a bargain.
Kentucky Turkey Hunting
Want a quality turkey hunt?
How much fun is turkey hunting? If you like the outdoors, like the action, like being stealthy, like the stalk, but don’t have time to invest that trophy deer hunting takes, then turkey hunting in Kentucky may be for you. It’s a sport that requires preparation, pretty much the same tools and equipment deer hunting, does, but it’s just nowhere near as expensive. And of course one of the major benefits to turkey hunting is that it’s not during the real cold winter days! It’s when you can go out in the woods for an hour or two and hit optimum hunting times.
What size of shotgun?
You can call and communicate with the birds which is a lot of fun! So what do you use when you go turkey hunting? Well, it’s pretty much illegal to use any type of rifle. Shotguns are ideal. 410, 20 gauge or 12 gauge are the most common weapons. Do you need a blind to hunt out of? Not really, you can brush in something yourself or hunt out of a ground plant that will help conceal any movements.
Cost of turkey hunts
Kentucky turkey do have very sharp eyes, but thats not all, they usually have about 10-30 eyeballs looking around as they travel in groups. How much does it cost to do a quality turkey hunt in Kentucky? You’ll surf the websites but I think the average cost for Kentucky turkey hunting with an outfitter will run $650 per person? This price can easily hit $1,200 of course, but I really shouldn’t write in $$ values because with inflation, these prices change over time. Will turkey hunts cost 1 million dollars each? Yes. They already do, just not in U.S. dollars.
Youth Hunting
You get to buy calls, buy decoys that actually work! Unlike deer decoys, turkey decoys contribute to a much higher success rate. They make for great up and close video as well. Shots are within 50 yards and it’s sort of tough to miss with a shot gun. This is an excellent sport to introduce kids too just because of the amount of time you have to invest into the woods and the different encouraged acitvities and movements that take place during a turkey hunt.
