LESSONS & HUNTS >>



This company is focused on teaching total noobs how to hunt like they were born to do it.  We start with basic skills​ so you're ready for a guided hunt, and then build upon that foundation with experience in the field.  If you've already started learning and want to expand your skills, that's great too.  If an option that is exactly what you're looking for is missing below don't worry, because everything will be customized to suit your interest and skill level.

Apprentice Hunt

Go from knowing nothing to having your first hunt in a single day.  You'll start the day with a shooting lesson on either crossbow or shotgun, depending on the season and your preference.  After that you will go on a scouting lesson where you will learn all about deer, deer sign, plant and tree identification, and how to turn all of that knowledge into a successful hunt.  Finally,  you'll have the opportunity to experience your first hunt and potentially to take your first deer at the same time.   If you like, you can book a second day and triple your odds of success.
