Stay away! He got me for $500 on a spring turkey hunt earlier this year April 2020. I talked to the farmer he leased from and the farmer said I haven’t seen or heard turkeys around here in years. He also said he didn’t want to release his farms to Tevis again but couldn’t pass up the 10k$$. Where did this guy get his money to start such a business?? The farmer also said that most if not all of the people didn’t like him after they leased their farms to him but know guys like us can’t give them what he does. Sounds like he’s ruining the sport across Kentucky if you ask me. I’d never go on a hunt with him or WHO again. Lesson learned I guess. I hope Meade county runs him back to Nicholasville or wherever he’s from. STAY AWAY
I did same thing but second day I found birds, had to cover a bunch of ground and use my country boy been hunting for years technique to get one,

Haha wish I could have done that. These farms were limited ground. The neighbor actually had birds by the main road that strutted all day but her farm wasn’t leased by WHO. The farmer said he knew her and that she lived in Louisville he told me to shoot it but of course I didn’t

Almost had a bad situation, apparently they sell a whole pass or something that you can go on any place, anyway we were there at a farm, heard a hen Yelping, turned out to be another hunter coming through the woods that had permission but we was supposed to be the ones with permission, I had a little talk with him about walking around making turkey sounds, he listened and was apparently new to the sport, young man was glad to talk to him about being a little safer

You don’t call when you turkey hunt?

Here is my experience with Whitetail Heaven Outfitters.

Hunted last year
I have twin boys 14yo at the time. Booked a double hunt youth weekend. Wife and I went up for a nice weekend with the boys. Lodge looks amazing on the internet. We show up and our room is down in the basement with about 12 other people. 1 bathroom 1 shower for 12 people. Luckily we had our own room, it was adjacent to the raised floor, mirror walls and brass striper pole with dollar bills glued on the floor.

Anyway on with the hunting story:
We are dropped off at a farm in the morning. We hunt, didn't see anything return to the lodge. When we are ready to go back out for the afternoon we are told our guide left and went to another lodge to help clean deer. So we are given an address and drive back out there ourselves. When we get back into the same blind we hunted in the am we see some orange ribbons way back in the woods. We hear a few deer but can't see anything, poor blind location.

When we return to camp that evening we talk with the guy in charge and ask where else we could hunt since we didn't see anything and the blind location was horrible. He pulls out a map of the farm and there are 3-4 other stands, nothing in the woods where we saw the orange ribbons. So the next morning we hunt one of the other stands close to where the blind was, again didn't see a thing. when we get down we walk into the woods about 100yds where we saw the orange ribbons. There is a bow stand and a videographer stand side by side on a tree, 20yds away the ground is worn out from deer eating corn and a salt block. We hunted that set up in the afternoon figuring it was our last hunt and worth a shot.

So my take on it was it was a poorly ran outfit. They had hidden stands for the big wigs that come into town and pay big money to hunt and shoot big deer and advertise for them. Then they put the common folk in shit locations and have them scout the farm for them. If we said we saw a big buck in the woods I guarantee someone would be in that stand with a camera crew the next day.

Anyway, we returned home with tags in hand, out our $4,500 we spent on bad food, lodging, and even worse deer hunting.

I would not recommend them to anyone.

Just curious, did you do any research on WHO? Talk to anyone that had been there and been unsuccessful?

I’d say you’re spot on. Seems all the big social media and tv hunters have great luck when hunting with them. Lots of free advertising when they do. The average hunter killing a good one there is probably more blind luck than actual preparation.
