Offering guided whitetail hunts at a very affordable price and on a family owned and operated farm that limits the number of hunters to a max of 2-4 hunters per week... We are a new operation however have been managing our farms for some time for big deer and I would like to think that we have them.. We have over 25 different bucks from last year that went over 120" last year and so far as we know only a small handfull of those were shot (5-6). Last year was our first year operating as an outfitter and we only took 14 hunters. Of those 14 there were 3 bucks taken (118", 137" & 171"), there were 4 bucks shot and wounded (Mid 180's 12 point - seen 2 weeks later on the same farm chasing does and still alive today, 140"+ 8 point that was seen later in the year and still alive today, a mid 130's 8-9 point that was never seen again and a very valiant effort was made even bringing in dogs to try to find and another that was 120" + that we are pretty certain is still alive today based on the description of the hit and the sign he did not appear to be mortally wounded.) There was also one miss and a few others passed on waiting for bigger.. So of the 14 hunters 9 hunters had shot opportunities which would put shot opportunity at roughly 64%. Below are a few pictures of some deer taken and others still out there this year.. We just put the trail cams out this past weekend and will be checking those that are easily accessible in a couple weeks and can put you on a list to update you as they come in if you just let us know!

These hunts take place on a total of 1700+/- acres of farm ground in Logan County OH. If you have ever seen the buck Stan Potts shot that scored over 200" in OH our one farm is situated very close to this farm. We have also seen multiple bucks over the years that will push or exceed the 200" mark of which the owner himself killed one that pushed that 200" mark. These are guided hunts that take place from Sept 26th - 2nd to last week of October and they run $1295.. For members we will take $100 off the price of your hunt. Then from the last week of October through 3rd week of November for a rut hunt we only ask an additional $200. We let the property sit for the week prior to the Gun opener and then for the 5 day gun hunt the cost is $1,595 per hunter max 5 guys for this one week, Hunt is normally $1695.

We do not provide lodging or food however if you have a camper trailer or tent you are more than welcome to park at the house and plug into our electricity and town is only a couple miles away for food and you would be welcome to use any of our facitlities. If you choose to stay in a hotel they are about 9 miles away and we will come and get you and take you to your stands where we will have multiple stand locations available up to 3 per person depending on wind direction and game seen we would like you to sit one stand wind permitting for 2-3 days as they are in locations we know big bucks frequent.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or call me at 248-721-3153.

Sincerely,

Big Valley Outfitters
