September Bow Hunt
We had pictures of several nice bucks but just couldn't get them to show while we were there. We tried changing our entry to stands (thought they might be above watching our approach) and watched the wind and thermals, adjusting as needed. The first two days I had 3 smaller bucks under 20 yards but just couldn't get the "Bean Field Eight" to show. The bucks are there, we just could not get it done in the time we had. I think stand/mineral locations could have been set up different to give a greater percentage of success for a bow hunter. Accomodations were good at the main lodge which is a newer modular home with kitchen and bath facilities. Beverages, food & snacks plentiful.

early season bow
This was my first early season bowhunt in Kentucky. John has several thousand acres leased in Lewis county which has a track record for putting some big deer in the books over the years. His trail cameras showed there are some big bucks living on his properties. Keep in mind, early season means hot weather in early September down in KY. A buddy and I hunted a total of 6 times and neither of us got a shot a mature 140+ buck. John was friendly and tried to keep us in the loop based on trail cam activity, we just didn't get any opportunities. I think the majority of his clients hunt the rifle season. Accommodations were good at his lodge, and the food was ok.

Spring Turkey 2012
DA Outfitters was a great hunting experience, lots of eastern wild turkeys, I was not able to connect on a Kentucky longbeard during my trip, but had plenty of chances at jakes. I hunted two different weekends here and both weekends had terrible storms and rain most of the nights and days, so it made the hunting very tough but I still had birds gobbling and 10 yrd shots at several different jakes. John was a great host, food was top notch, and the lodge was very comfortable and clean. I look forward to next spring turkey hunting in Kentucky and I am headed back down this fall for some monster whitetail hunting!!!!

Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
Ontario Hunting Information
Ontario is often considered a sportsman's paradise. This large province contains huge sections of wilderness, filled with thousands of lakes that provide excellent habitat for Canada moose and black bear. Excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, muskie, smallmouth bass and other species can often be combined with a hunt. From spike camps to 5-star lodges, there are lodges, guides and outfitters for every adventure and every taste.
Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
