EXPERIENCE THE GREAT OUTDOORS...
fully accessible, enclosed ground blinds connected by miles of groomed trails.
All hunts are conducted on our private, 529-acre property in Florence County, Wisconsin, just west of Niagara, Wisconsin, and just south of Iron Mountain, Michigan. Bordering the property to the east, south, and west are thousands of acres of public land. Within these vast woodlands are maple-covered ridges; vast alfalfa fields; numerous food plots; several beautiful ponds; meandering streams; dense cedar bogs; and, of course, a healthy, thriving deer population.
