Many times hunters in quest of a "Best of Class SCI Trophy Whitetail", will follow their friends to new hunting areas and outfitters either on recommendation or the knowledge of a friend's success. Hunters looking for a truly amazing Northern Whitetail have flocked to Wilderness Whitetails ever since hunters realized that Wilderness is the most consistent producer of impressive world record typical and non-typical Whitetails in North America with non-typical scores ranging from the mid 300's to 492 typicals consistently in the high 180's to nearly 260.
Beyond the magnificent high ranking bucks Wilderness Whitetails has produced, it is overall the Wilderness Whitetail experience. It's an experience like no other. The experience is everything and it's what hunting is all about. Wilderness Whitetails has spent the last 30 years creating the most unique and unrivaled Whitetail hunting experience in the world, as our hunters will attest to. (See Testimonials).
Unlike most Whitetail ranches, Wilderness Whitetails deer spend their entire lives out on the vast property that ranges from dense stands of pines to impenetrable cedar swamps tall timber and rolling hills thick with hardwoods to more open heavy grassy areas. Wilderness Whitetails deer are real wild deer. They truly live their lives in the wild , in the wilderness. No deer are ever brought into Wilderness Whitetails. They are all born here, live here and learn the 1,000-plus acre fair chase property and how to elude our hunters. There are huge 8 and 9-year bucks on the property that we never or rarely see.
Hunters can expect a real hunting experience, a challenging hunt to see a lot of big deer and having to put their time when trying to collect a massive new #1 SCI. Wilderness Whitetails offers two lodges capable of handling large corporate groups or smaller private family and friend gatherings.
