Ohio’s Premier Elk Hunting Destination
Your dream Elk Hunt starts here
Hunting for a trophy elk bull is an experience like no other, and at Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve, we make it possible.
Our elk hunts have gained national attention for their quality, accessibility, and the opportunity they provide for hunters to secure a true trophy.
Unlike western outfitters, we give you the rare advantage of seeing and choosing your bull before you commit to the hunt.
This means no surprises—you know exactly what you’re hunting and what your investment is getting you.
See Your Bull Before You Hunt
No guessing, no hoping. You’ll know exactly what your money is buying before you commit.
Transparent Pricing
Our special pricing makes these magnificent elk bulls accessible to hunters looking for a world-class experience.
Guaranteed Opportunity
Unlike many western outfitters, where you might spend thousands without ever getting a shot, you will leave our preserve with the elk you worked hard to hunt.
Real Hunting Terrain
Our preserve features thick and steep terrain, offering a real hunting experience where you’ll have to earn your trophy.
Don’t gamble on your hunt!
Many hunters travel out west multiple times and never bring home an elk. At Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve, you hunt until you succeed.
Not all elk hunts are created equal. When comparing your options, be sure to ask these key questions.
What will my bull score? Some outfitters will sell you a 5x5 bull without telling you that it could score anywhere from 200 to 325 inches.
Will I actually have a fair chance at a bull? Many places sell more hunts than they can support, leaving hunters with no opportunity to harvest an elk.
Is the terrain realistic for a successful hunt? If an outfitter is only giving you a few days in a massive, difficult landscape, your chances of success may be slim.
We take great pride in the health and sustainability of our elk population. Our breeding program keeps bulls remain in peak condition by managing them in specialized breeding areas. This approach promotes higher reproduction success rates and keeps our bulls strong for the hunt.
The reality of Western Elk Hunts
Many of our hunters have previously booked trips out west, only to return empty-handed.
At Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve, you’ll work hard for your elk, but you’ll leave with the trophy you came for.
Here’s what outfitters don’t tell you:
Outfitters are limited by strict harvest quotas, but they often oversell hunts, leaving late-season hunters with no real opportunity to take an elk.
Reintroductions of predators like wolves have dramatically reduced elk populations, making hunts even more unpredictable.
You pay the full price of a western hunt whether you harvest an elk or not.
We’re happy to connect you with past elk hunters who can share their incredible experiences at Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve with you.
