Farmhouse Hunts
Continuing for the '08-09' deer hunting season, Buckeye Creek Outfitters will again be offering farmhouse hunts. These hunts will take place from a comfortable farmhouse situated on 700+ acres in some of Pike County's best deer ground. The hunters at the farmhouse will be responsible for their own meals but will be shown the property and our stand sites, and then will be on their own to hunt. Hunters are welcome to bring their own stands, and because food isn't provided, your cost will be less (see the posted hunt prices below).
Additionally, Buckeye Creek will continue to offer shotgun and muzzleloader hunts from the
Farmhouse! Booking on these dates provides gun hunters access to
some of the best hunting in Pike County during one of these prime
seasons.
These farmhouse hunts have been well-received so let us hear from you so
we can get you booked and headed to Pike County for a great hunting
experience!
Rules and Practices
All Buckeye Creek rules apply to hunts at both the Lodge and Farmhouse.
Buckeye Creek is proud to practices and monitor quality deer management
on all our hunt areas and expects our hunters to abide by and support
these practices. This includes our buck harvest restrictions and how
all our hunters approach the safety during his or her hunt. Always wear a safety harness;
Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the field; Know you skill and
personal limitations while in the field. Any violation of these rules will terminate the hunt.
We want our hunters to have a "quality" experience during their visit
and these rules are in place to insure that for everyone. Ask our staff
should you have any questions about our practices or policies.
All other hunt rules and quality deer rules apply.
