Who We Are
About 1st Class Whitetails of Ohio
Built for hunters who take this seriously. No high-pressure sales, no overcrowded leases, no excuses - just quality deer and an honest experience.
Built for hunters who take this seriously. No high-pressure sales, no overcrowded leases, no excuses - just quality deer and an honest experience.
Our base is in the rolling hill country of Meigs County, southeast Ohio. We hunt over 5,000 acres of private, actively managed land - a mix of mature hardwood ridges, thick bedding cover, and ag bottoms that holds and grows the kind of bucks hunters travel for.
Every farm is chosen with purpose. Deer use the land in predictable ways when habitat, food, and security are in balance. That balance is what we build year-round.
Long before a hunter arrives, we've scouted, set stands, hung cameras, and logged deer movement across every property. We understand the terrain, the winds, and how deer use each farm through every phase of the season.
We treat the land like it is our own, because it is. Responsible management is the reason the deer are here, and the reason they keep getting bigger year after year.
Our guests are hunters who want to put in the work for a real trophy. They're out-of-state hunters escaping pressured public land, residents who want something better than family-farm hunts, and DIY bowhunters who appreciate land that's been prepped the right way.
If you want a private-land Ohio hunt with honest guidance and a shot at a mature buck, you're our kind of hunter.
Our properties span Meigs, Gallia, Vinton, and Jackson Counties in southeast Ohio. This region is known nationally as some of the best whitetail ground in the Midwest, and our farms sit right in the middle of it.
Minutes from the Ohio River, close to airports in Columbus and Charleston, and a world away from the crowds.
