Welcome to Western Kentucky Outdoors!

Here at Western Kentucky Outdoors we provide an affordable hunt where the hunting is not sacrificed. We are dedicated to making sure each hunt is a quality hunt. You have some control over your expenses to help fit your budget and take the question of out of the equation of how much of the hunt cost really went to food and lodging. We are not a bed and breakfast, we are a hunting operation and prefer to focus on hunting. I have taken my own experiences hunting across this great country of ours and taken the good and incorporated it here at Western Kentucky Outdoors. This helps insure the best possible experience for our clients. We also listen to our clients each year and make changes based on feedback and what our clients want to see on their return trips with WKO. We put in countless hours preparing for our hunts. Our preparation begins from the time season goes out until the next one opens. Here at Western Kentucky Outdoors you won't find a so-called pro. We are the guys who are behind the so-called pro's look like pros. Simply put, we help hunters bag that trophy buck. Our hunts are 100% Fair Chase. We cannot guarantee a kill, but we do guarantee we will hard and do everything possible to make your hunt a success and enjoyable. Our hunts are conducted in a professional manner and 110% will be given. We take a personal interest in your hunt to make sure you have a positive experience while here.   What you will find is we are good at what we do and do it the way it was meant to be. By FAIR CHASE!! I hope you will enjoy the content of this site. Check back often, like the seasons, it will change. One thing is for sure; this site and our operation exists because of the passion we have for the outdoors here in Western Kentucky. One reason you are probably here is because you are seeking information about hunting in Kentucky yourself.         One thing to know is we tell it like it is here at Western Kentucky Outdoors. Simply put we speak the truth. Our services will not put you in a 5 star lodge, provide 7 course meals or place you in a heated blind. What we will do is tailor your hunt to your liking, assist in getting you here, help you make accommodations and guide you in the field for the purpose you came to the state of Kentucky for to kill a trophy buck, an Eastern Wild Turkey, or Waterfowl . If you are a bow hunter you don't have to worry about showing up and getting stuck in stands for firearm hunting. We are bow hunters first and foremost ourselves and know what it takes to take quality, P&Y caliber bucks. WE ARE NOT a hunter mill. We are not about getting through as many hunters as we can each season. Our hunts are very limited. This allows us to insure everyone is catered to, has a good hunt and enjoys themselves while in Kentucky. At the same time, this helps insure future success in seasons that follow. With WKO you will NOT find yourself in a situation where you were told only 6 would be in camp and when you arrive find 20. We care about what we provide here at WKO. Just ask for a list of references to find out for yourself. We have structured our rates for, a lack of better word, the working man and continue to be the most affordable and successful operation in our areas.   "We want to shake your hand when you arrive and be able to do the same when you leave. This cannot be accomplished unless you have a hunt that is enjoyable regardless of success." Bill Cartwright.       2009 Kentucky Buck

Unlike a lot of outfitters, we strive to keep our web site, prices and information current. The Front Porch gives past, present and future clients a snap shot of what is going on here. We use nothing but recent photos and references from our hunts. This gives our clients an up-to-date, honest report concerning our clients' successes and trophies taken..

We utilize trail cameras throughout the year to keep tabs on the trophy bucks who spend much of their time on our properties. We post these results regularly in the Trail Cam Section located on the left side of this page. This helps give us first hand knowledge of the trophy bucks we are hunting and allows us to be non-invasive. Several trophy bucks are harvested each fall that we capture on trail cams.

Kentucky has over the counter license and tags. Non-residents can purchase all licenses and permits over the counter or online through the provided link or clicking the department logo on the left. http://www.kdfwr.state.ky.us/   Non-Resident Hunting License: $130 Non-Resident Deer Permit: $60 Non-Resident Turkey Permit: $60

A high percentage of clients return each fall to hunt with us. If not the following year, they return 2 or 3 years later.           For a list of references please email us and we will gladly provide you a list of both successful and unnsuccessful clients.

Bowhunting trophy bucks is our passion and fuels us each day. On a typical year over 70% of our clients are bow hunters. Not everyone is successful while here. Though it cannot be guaranteed with fair chase hunting we put a lot of time into scouting and expect every setup to provide shot opportunities.     Here at Western Kentucky Outdoors we know what it takes to take Pope and Young bucks. There is nothing that we know of that leads to greater success than scouting. Often we will scout out a buck as much as a week before actually going in and trying to harvest him. On occassion we may go in and place a stand as you wait to climb the tree or pack a climber in to hunt a spot for the first time. We are firm believers in the first time or two a stand is hunted is your best opportunity at tagging the trophy buck you are hunting.

The team here at WKO takes trips throughout the year. We make these available to you, so if interested in hunting other states, drop us a line and we'll be sure to bring you up to speed on what we have going on, availability and costs.   wko_hunts@insightbb.com
