Kentucky?
Answer! That is easy.

Crockett Bucks

state, 279 total and ranked in the top 5 in recent years.
*Kentucky allows only one buck per licensed hunter per year
*Kentucky gun season is only 16 days per years allowing for a more
mature deer herd
Question? What type of tree stands
do you hunt from?
Answer! Our bow hunting stands are primarily lock on type
stands. We use many large platform stands and on occasion we will
use commercial ladder stands or pop-up blinds. Our firearms area
uses the same types of stands.
Question? Is there a trophy fee?
Answer! No, we hope you kill the buck of your dreams!
Question? How high are your tree
stands!
Answer! We like to keep our stands 18 to 25 feet.
Sometimes cover and wind conditions may require us to hunt higher or
lower!
Question? What size deer can I
expect to see?
Answer! We have many deer on our property that are 3 1/2 years
of age and older. Those bucks will range is size from 120 class to
well over 200 inches. Our 2 1/2 year old bucks will score 90 to 125
on an average year.
Question? What are my chances of
shooting a P&Y buck.
Answer! Although impossible to answer there is are many bucks on
our property that will score high in the P&Y category. Your
success however is based on your hunting skills. Some hunters lack
the ability or desire to take care of their scent, make a quiet entry to
their stand and sit still for long periods of time. These factor
greatly decrease your odds and our shot opportunity percentage.
Question? Why should I choose Buck
Country?
Answer! Today there are many choices for hunters looking to
expand their season or increase their odd of shooting mature bucks.
Let's look at some facts. Buck Country has a 10 year QDM program
that has dramatically increased the number of mature bucks on the property
and balanced the herd. Add to that guides who are veteran bow
hunters who are dedicated to making your hunt the best possible. Did
I forget to mention Missy's famous fried chicken, biscuits and gravy.
We can't guarantee you will kill the buck of your dreams, but I promise
our property holds some of the best bucks anywhere and we will try our
best to get you up close and personal with them.
Question? Which hunt would you
consider the best hunt?
Answer! First remember that we are die hard bow hunters so keep
that in mind. I like the early hunt for the simple fact that it is
always great to get in the woods early. Although the weather can be
hot, when you see bucks you usually see several of them. That is
just plain exciting. Having said that there is no doubt that the
best time to hunt mature whitetail anywhere in the world is the rut.
Although there are many phases of the rut no single time from Late October
to Mid November seem to be better that the other for mature deer movement.
The absolute key factor here is the weather. If the weather is cold,
you will see good bucks. Once our deer get their winter coats they
will restrict day light movement in warm weather. We almost always
seem to have a warm spell through out the rut so it is always a crap shoot
as to which hunt will be the victim. It varies from year to year.
Our logs sheets from the past 7 years have proven that every week is good
when the temps are where we need them to be. Our last hunt is just
as good as the first one if the weather is cooperative. If you
decide to hunt the rut, pick the phase of the rut you prefer to hunt and
hope for good weather.
Question? Why the no smoking
policy?
Answer! Up until this past season we allowed smoking in a
designated area outside the camp. That will no longer be allowed.
The reason is very simple. We work extremely hard to scout and
locate prime tree stand locations. We expect our clients to treat
these stand locations as if they were the only place the could hunt all
year. Again this year we had clients who not only smoked in their
scent-loc suits but actually smoked in our tree stands. I moved a
stand last week that had cigarette butts stashed throughout the bark and
all over the ground. That client lied to us when we asked if they
had been smoking in the tree. Smokers do not realize how much odor
they produce. When a non-smoker can smell them at 20 feet a
whitetail can smell them for a mile. If you smoke do not book a hunt
with us. If we smell smoke on you, you will be asked to leave
without a refund. Again we are sorry for any inconvenience.
Question? How do I book a hunt.

IMPORTANT:
We will do our best to give you a quality hunting experience.
Please remember that we are selling you a hunt not selling you a deer. We cannot be
responsible for bad weather, slow deer movement, moon cycles or lack of
hunting skills. Keep this in mind when booking a hunt. If
you are the type of hunter who hunts a couple of hours in the morning
and evening, do not expect to be successful here. Our deer often
move through the middle of the day and to be successful our hunters need
to be willing to give exceptional effort. Please remember
that when hunting mature whitetails, it takes only one mistake to
eliminate your chance at a trophy deer. Many hunters fail to
maximize their hunting opportunity by paying attention to detail.
Simple things like a buckle hitting the stand, loud Velcro, snap
buckles, noisy drink bottles and more can give notice to a mature buck
that a hunter is in the area. He will avoid you and you will never
know he was even there. Mature bucks do not dumb their way through
the woods. Even during the rut, mature bucks make few if any
mistakes, each step they make is careful and always to their advantage.
Make sure you make an effort to eliminate as many negative factors and
you can before you arrive. We want you to be successful and will
try to do everything we can to make this happen. If you want to
hunt with friendly, knowledgeable, honest and hardworking guides on well
managed property for big Kentucky bucks then give us a call at 866-338-4868. We have NO TROPHY FEES! We
do have a penalty fee of $500 for bucks harvested under the 130 inch
minimum. Does may not be harvested. This may be subject to change
depending upon our Buck to Doe ratio at the time.
