Whitetail Deer Hunting

Two Incredible Whitetail Hunting Experiences

At Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve, we offer two distinct whitetail hunting opportunities: preserve whitetail hunting and native whitetail hunting.

Whether you're looking for a guaranteed trophy buck or an authentic fair-chase hunt in the Appalachian foothills, SOHP has the perfect hunt for you.

Preserve Whitetail Hunts

See It, Hunt It, Take It Home

Our preserve whitetail hunts are a one-of-a-kind experience. You’ll have the opportunity to see and select your buck before you commit to the hunt, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll hunt until you successfully harvest your buck.

  • Whitetail Buck Hunts (September – January)

    • Bucks range from approximately 120 inches to over 200 inches.

Native Whitetail Hunts

Fair-Chase Hunting

For hunters looking for a true whitetail experience, our native whitetail hunts offer the chance to hunt a wild, free-ranging herd that we've managed for over 30 years. These deer roam across our private land in the Appalachian foothills, where we maintain food plots and strategically placed bait stations to support a healthy population.

  • A better chance of success than most public land hunts, thanks to our management practices.
