I have been hunting with Whitetail Outfitters for 5 years. It was recommended to me by a close friend to drive out the 11 hours and try it out. The first year I was concerned about meeting other hunters and Scott. When I first got there Scott showed the area where the stands and blinds are located. I was amazed of the selection and how the food plots were taken care of and stand locations. Scott would advise the hunters about the future weather conditions and wind conditions prior to your hunt and make recommendations. While staying at the lodge I have met some new friends and leaned about hunting! I have seen so much deer activity and yes some were not shooters, however I learned more on how to use my calls and gained the experience encountering each deer. Every year that I have gone I learn a new experience and story that I can tell. I have learned so much with Whitetail Outfitters that it has helped me with my hunts at home. Scott and Jim this year, as always, helped with getting my deer and bringing it back to the lodge to hang. To all of you one star bad rating subjects, you do not know anything about hunting! If all you want is a guarantee hunt, please find some where else to hunt, like a farm! You are all cry babies. Maybe the challenge for you is they can paint a spot on the animal to kill before they open the gate to let it out in the pasture that you are hunting. The expense of hunting anywhere, you would spend at any hotel and pay for food. Thank you Scott for all of your help, the area to hunt and my training! To all of you whiners, please go else where. There is no guarantee in the woods, but you have a better chance at Whitetail Ridge Outfitters!!!! To all of hunters out there be safe and enjoy the time at Whitetail Ridge Outfitters.
