Super Basic/Primitve Kentucky Hunting Cabin

We own to the road, but after you travel 300 yards in, you will come to this locked gate.  Cabin is another 200 yards down the drive.  Hunting grounds is another 400 yards down the road that will dead end into a food plot with an elevated box blind. 

We have 2 properties, so either way, you are going to be in a small Kentucky deer hunting cabin - do not expect much. 


Furnishings to Expect:


  • bunk bed
  • chairs/table
  • gas cooking stove inside
  • gas grill outside
  • basic cooking utensils & throw-away plates/cups
  • gas heat
  • battery lantern lighting
  • sleeping bags and pillows
  • corn in feeders
  • padded seats to take to ladder stands just in case they have fell off
  • ​deer cart


This is an off-the-grid cabin, which mean no electricity, and no running water.  You get to use the bathroom outside at deer camp!   We've owned bulldozers, backhoes, tractors, etc., but we did not spend serious money on a cabin.  I have a full-time teaching job, my niche market of customers are not exactly expecting a "Kentucky hunting lodge."


Things to remember to bring for you Kentucky deer hunt:

  • drinks/water
  • sleeping bag/pillow (although 4-6 are present)
  • small propane canisters for cooking (although several will be there)
  • saw for trimming branches that you might not like (I keep a saw there)
  • cooler with ice 
  • hand and foot warmers


Many Kentucky hunting outfitters offer great guide services and awesome food!  That's something I don't offer.  Because I don't have water, some of my hunters stay in nearby hotels.  Twenty-five minutes away you can find hotel/motel type accomodations.  


If you're looking for an extravagant lodge and people to make you breakfast, our place is not for you.  This is not that type of experience. We are all about Kentucky whitetail hunting and keeping prices down for an affordable Kentucky deer hunting experience (plus all that other stuff would be like a "job" to me, I am a school teacher to pay my bills.)  Trophy class whitetails are what we offer, and we do everything to maintain a well-balanced herd.  


Look at Kentucky deer hunting forums, and do some research.  Determine what type of Kentucky whitetail hunt you'd like to book.  Shoot your buck early at my place, then check out some Kentucky fishing trips.  If I had extra money, the government was simply going to take when I die, I would 100% go w/ a nice lodge, pool table, hot tub, food service, etc.  We shoot some very nice bucks here. If you can, bowhunters and gun hunters should come take a tour of the hunting grounds prior to booking (that's the best sales pitch I got; I know you'll think the place looks good when you see it.)  In the spring, if I choose to put in corn or milo, that will be done in May.  Otherwise, I will weave in / strip kill plots into my clover and alfalfa plots in late August - it all depends on weather.  Oats are a staple, bassicas/turnips, and cereal rye.  Peas and lab lab are great, but it is hard to keep them growing w/ the deer herd.
