Brother is looking for a local hunting trip on a whitetail property that isn't terribly expensive but is good. He keeps getting drawn into places that to me look like scams, but i have no experience hunting that neck of the woods so if anyone has had good experiences out that way, please let me know.

Looking for rifle or ML, budget around 3-5k.

Appreciate your help

I can get him hooked up for the 2021 season, 2020 firearms season just closed today and it was a pretty good season,
I would put him in contact with my buddy that run a full time fishing and hunting guide service.
He has some fantastic properties that have only been hunted by paying customers for the first time this year and each property only had one hunter per property.
I am very hands on with both the fishing and hunting day to day activities and I can promise you he does it right and has had a 100% success rate with every hunter he's guided this year for deer and 100% success on turkeys for the last 7 years.
because he works so hard to limit pressure on these properties and doesn't take many hunters it would probably be best to start working on next years hunt.
some of the largest typical bucks killed in Kentucky came from the county we hunt and live in including a 196" typical that is leading the county big buck contest (for now).
p.m. me if I can help in any way.
best of luck to him whoever he chooses.
