From the Winner of our Handicapped Hunt
I would like to thank you once again for allowing me and Travis to come to your ranch and hunt. I could have not hunted in a better place to hunt and kill
my first whitetail. This will be an experiance I will never forget. I hope that one day I can come back to your ranch to hunt again. I hope that all is well with
you and your family. God Bless.

Dear Dan,
I would like to thank you for the great trip and learning experience of last week. My crew and I would like to learn much more from you in the future to
make my property better.
I enjoyed visiting the furniture store very much. The store has the finest quality of workmanship that I have ever seen under one roof.
Visiting the Amish country and seeing the horse and wagons was a wonderful experience. I had previously seen them on television, but it was great seeing
them in person.
We would like to get you up here in Maine in the spring or summer to show you what we have to offer up around here. Right now, we have three feet of
snow on the ground.
We have been passing out your calendars and brochures to the Main Warden Services as well as my hunting buddies and friends. They are in disbelief of
what you have been able to do. I am soon going to find out from my warden friends if I can do it here. They are very optimistic that this can be done here.
Having their influence will be helpful for me.
If I had to make a complaint, it would be that we would have like more time with you learning from your vast knowledge.
I will be in touch with you. I would like copies of your hunt. Also wondering when the hunt will be televised.
Thanks again for the wonderful trip and learning experience.
Sincerely,
Dale Henderson

I wanted to let you know that Adam and I had a great time in October on our deer hunt. I was there last year and this year you guys improved from the last time that I was there. The food was excellent!!!! As always Dan is a excellent guide and friend after you meet him for the first time. The deer was unbelievable of what the world class whitetails has to choose from. The guide Bud always keeps you laughing and motivated to get out there and the deer.
Thanks for the great time and great service that you gave me on this deer hunt!!!!

Dan,
Sorry I didn’t get a chance to say thanks. I want you to know I have a very good time. I really didn’t know what to expect on this hunt. I guess you never do when you try something different. Every hunt for me is not about the kill but it’s about the experience that is gained. When that experience is positive then it is successful. When I booked with you I did have a goal that I wanted to achieve. I wanted a deer with still in velvet and unique. You provided me with exactly that. I couldn’t be more satisfied. On the other side of the hunt I enjoyed getting to know you and the conversations we had. It’s amazing when two people come together from opposite lifestyles and work together to achieve a common goal. It didn’t take me long to realize that even though we were different we had things in common. I think that is what I enjoyed most about meeting you. I’ve got some good pictures I will send soon.
Thank you for a great time and you can expect to see me and my son next year.
Sincerely,
Jerry
Dan,
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the hunt and the effort to make this an experience of a lifetime. The evening hunt started with amazement and disbelief of what my eyes were seeing. The quantity and the quality (size) were beyond belief.
The deer of a lifetime came within bow range and the shot looked good but a little low. After not finding any blood or my arrow I started to get concerned. We looked till dark and decided to back out and leave it alone and you assured me not to worry that we would find it. After a night of no sleep I could not wait till the next morning.
After three hours of searching my heart was sinking by the minute, then music to me ears “there he is” and we made a circle around in front of him and a follow up shot was completed.
The rest is a memory that will be embedded for a lifetime… and a GREAT BUCK on my wall.
I have been blessed to be able to hunt all over the country and by far this is the best experience I have had in my 23 years of hunting.
Thank you so much for all of your efforts Dan and the staff of World Class Whitetails.
Sincerely,
Steve Garrison

"Deer Hunting Is A Great Adventure!"
Hello again Dan,
Last time I wrote you was in August, 2006, I think, telling you how excited I was about getting ready to go after a 180"+ monster with you. After hunting with you in 2005 and harvesting my 171” B & C, I thought I was on top of the world. Little did I know what you had in store for me. When the 180"+ buck you had told me about when I booked did not look like what you thought he would be after the velvet came off, you went the extra mile and found me “a substitute that you thought might be acceptable”, I believe is the way you worded it.
Well, when we saw the “substitute” and you said you though he would probably go 190” to 195”, I was drooling, but afraid that he was out of my price range. You were very reasonable in the upgrade difference and I would have been a fool to turn it down.
Wow!! Is an understatement! When my 21 pt non-typical scored 202 3/8 (green), I was almost speechless!
Well, Dan after two hunts in two years with a 171 and a 202, plus I videoed the guy who shared the lodge with me when he got a 217” 22 point monster! With these credentials, no one should have any problem calling me concerning references for you. After as many people that have bought hunts with you after talking to me, I should start selling and booking hunts for you. Have them call me at 804 427 6464.
Thanks again for everything Dan!
Your friend,

Dear World Class Whitetails of Ohio:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Rubin for the experience of a lifetime you have given to our family. With the fast paced life of living in the city, your sincere hospitality has shown us that it is important to take time with family, enjoy the pleasures of nature. You both went out of your way to ensure happiness without the feeling of pressure. Your staff was also very accommodating. Your buck huns are clearly a lifetime experience with a lifetime of memories and will be highly recommended to others. Feel free to use our family as a reference. Again, thank you for your time, hospitality, gratitude and mostly, the memories.
Sincerely,

Hi World Class Whitetails of Ohio,
It has been a couple months now since my trip and I still find myself daydreaming about the great weekend of hunting and hospitality I enjoyed on my visit to Ohio. I want to once again thank you and Azure for not only making me feel at home but also letting me experience the incredible thrill of hunting the monster bucks of Ohio.
I didn't have a helping hand during my search for a great whitetail adventure and it was a frustrating time for me. I would like to offer some helpful advice to anyone out there right now going through the same worries and doubts that I did during my research. Most importantly, you are in the right place. You will not find a better combination of pricing, monster bucks, hospitality and adventure anywhere, trust me I looked. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and comfortable the lodge is, you will feel right at home. The whole crew at the lodge is top notch and provide everything you need, all you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself. That stuff was important to me but of course the main attraction is the incredible bucks roaming the land. I have hunted for 20 years and never saw anything like it in my life, not even close. The bucks are truly unbelievable. I found the buck of my dreams on the 2 nd day and putting my hands on him capped off a weekend of hunting I could never have imagined before. What started off as a 4 hour road trip to uncertainty ended up as a weekend I will never forget. World Class Whitetails of Ohio was a great guide, a gracious host, and a lot of fun to be around.
My taxidermist has been in business for 33 years and the only think he could say when he saw my buck was “Wow”. He has since asked my permission to take my mount with him on a few traveling shows. What a great experience on many levels. Good luck in your pursuit of your trophy. The search is half over if you've found your way to World Class Whitetails of Ohio.
Thanks again World Class Whitetails of Ohio

Hello World Class Whitetails of Ohio!
Finally had time to sit down and try yo put my thoughts into words. Just wanted to say thanks again for the great hunt and all the time and effort you put in to help make my hunt, a true hunt of a lifetime. I can't think of another hunt I have ever been on that comes close to the comparing to this one. Every other booked hunt I have taken didn't quite turn out as portrayed by the outfitters. After talking to you and Azure, I decided to book a hunt; it turned out to be my best hunting decision. Harvesting a 217 B&C buck was something I had only dreamed about. World Class Whitetails of Ohio, you truely have a first class operation, with a multitude of great bucks. I an enclosing one of my better pictures for you to you as you wish. Hope to be able to book another hunt in 2007.
Sincerely,
Mike Kahl
P.S. Tell Albert that I really appreciate his help and sight seeing tour.
This 11 yr. old (Derek) hunted until 4:00 p.m. for this trophy deer scoring 127. He saw 12 bucks before shooting this one. He has shot Antelope, Mule Deer and Elk, but said this was the best hunt ever. Next to his picture is a letter from his father. |
World Class Whitetails of Ohio,
I wanted to write and thank you for providing the hunt of a lifetime for my son. It was not only because of the buck, but also the hospitality and friendship that was shown. Seeing my son bag a trophy buck was certainly a highlight of a lifetime. We will both have that memory to cherish and I thank you for that.
I would recommend any father taking their son on a hunt with you. It was a quality hunt, with the right atmosphere for a family trip. I appreciated that. If I can ever be of service as a reference, please feel free to contact me. Again, I want to sincerely thank you from Derek and me for the opportunity to hunt and bag such a magnificent animal, and for the experience of a lifetime.

World Class Whitetails of Ohio,
I just wanted to send you a letter to let you know how much we enjoyed our hunts. Let me first say, I was never a fan of preserve hunting, but I think you have to try something before you put it down. Mr Yoder's farm isn't like a preserve. On his farm you can hunt from a blind, still hunt or make deer drives. On our first hunt I took a 21 3/4 inch 8 point with heavy horns. My boss took a 13 point non-typical and my friend took a 10 point. As soon as I got home I talked to my wife and I decided to book another hunt. There are a lot of quality deer on this farm. Their prices are very reasonable. On our second hunt, Alan took a 157 inch pointer, 19 3/4 inch spread, and I took a huge 172 inch 10 pointer. It was the biggest deer I have ever taken. There are bigger deer on the farm. I want to tell everyone we are construction workers, you don't have to be rich to hunt at Honey Run Farms. In closing I would like to say I had the best hunting experience of my life. My wife had a great time and my friends also. World Class Whitetails of Ohio is the nicest and most patient man I have ever met.
Sincerely,
Kevin Weatherholt
P.S. We have already booked a hunt for Sept. 2005
World Class Whitetails of Ohio was the nicest guy I've ever met. He was so funny I wanted to say thank you for my hunt of a lifetime. I shot a very nice deer and took a very heavy horned 7 pointer. The farmsted was a great place. The first morning we were there we seen more deer that we ever see before. I never hunted like this before and I love it now and I am going again in 2006. I told all of my friends about it and they are thinking they would like it to, once again thank you World Class Whitetails of Ohio. (Mark Stoudt, Jr.)
Hey World Class Whitetails of Ohio,
I think this guy bid and won an ebay hunt with you after he contacted me. I sent him pics and my "usual head cheerleading speech" about your hunt. So add him to the list if you haven't. I'm working on getting a guy from down here who is a friend of my next door neighbor to contact you about a hunt.He's suppose to be a "big hunter".
It was really great to hear from you the other night!! I really appreciated your taking the time to call me. It meant a lot to me. I am so excited about getting the opportunity to get a 180 class with you. Thanks so much for your thoughfulness in taking care of me!! I'm dreaming about taking one of your wide 180 class monsters, hopefully close to typical . I can hardly wait!!!!!!!
When do you think they will be in hard antler? I probably want to plan on getting there earlier than I did last year. Maybe October. I quess they are staring to grow their racks now and are still pretty knobby in velvet, huh?
It really is a pleasure being able to give references for you and your operation. So don't hesitate to keep having people call me. Its fun when one has so much to tell people about their experience. Your operation really is the exception to what so many operations want or try to say they have. There is a lot of skepticism due to so many people getting taken advantage of and the guide/outfitter/operator passing it off as "that's hunting". Again, thanks so much World Class Whitetails of Ohio! I'll try to give you a call later on and talk some more about deer.
Take care my friend,
Rick
When you hunt at the ranch, the only thing you have to worry about is getting addicted. -- Paul
Have you hunted a ranch before, if so what class did you take? (Customer feedback)
1) Yes, I took a 164", loved it.
2) 150'S TO 230
3) Yes,140 and up.
4) Yes I hunted with you guys last year, you place was really good
5) Two years in a row. A 130 and a 140.
6) Yes 209"
What do you like or dislike about ranch hunting? (Customer feedback)
1) I was with a friend of mine on his private lease in south Texas and we saw lots of deer but no huge deer.It was fun seeing that number of 120 to 180 deer.
2) Yes, I like knowing the guaranteed part so you know what class of deer you pay for.
3) I LIKE THE GOOD FOOD AND CLEAN CABINS
5) I like seeing the big deer
6) I'd love to come hunting at your ranch sometime.
7) At first I didn't know if ranch hunting would be what I was looking for being my first hunt, But talking with all of you at the Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh got me thinking differently, To see the quality of deer and harvest such a remarkable animal would truly be a hunt of a life time
8) I would like to hunt a ranch to better give me a chance to harvest a big mature whitetail.
9) The management program the deer are under. The genetics the deer are produced from. The piece of mind knowing that the deer are there and it is not a waste of my time and money. Having a knowledgeable guide in an area I am unfamiliar with.
10) Bud is a great guide and in my opinion has the best job on the planet, Dan is the man and if my wife would move to Ohio ,I would ask him for a job.
11) Seeing all the HUGE bucks I would never see outside a ranch like World Class Whitetails.
12) The management genetics,Etc. Also the fact that you are not bull---- about the quality and quantity of the game.
