Reviewer Comments: MCKENNA OUTFITTERS WEBSITE IS VERY MISLEADING. I HUNTED FOR FOUR DAYS WITH 11 OTHER HUNTERS. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PRIME RUT TIME. I SAW 7 DEER IN 4 DAYS BEING ON STAND AN AVERAGE OF 7-8 HOURS PER DAY. THE STANDS HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME LOCATIONS FOR YEARS AND DEER WHICH DO COME OUT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THEM AS THEY KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS FOOD PLOTS WHICH ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT THERE ARE SO MANY DEER DO NOT HAVE TO MOVE. THERE ARE ALSO MANY FOOD PLOTS YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HUNT. YOU WILL HUNT THE SAME STANDS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN HUNTED BY SOMEONE ELSE THAT MORNING AS THAT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST ONE TIME. DURNING THE TIME I WAS AT MCKENNA THERE WERE TWO DECENT BUCKS TAKEN. ONE OF WHICH WAS A SHOT AT OVER 300 YARDS ON A PIPELINE. YOUR HUNTS AT MCKENNA WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE OVERLOOKING A GREENFIELD OR PIPELINE FROM WHICH YOU CAN SEE ALOT OF LAND BUT IF YOU ARE ON THE PIPELINE BE READY FOR SHOTS UP TO 300 YARDS. I NEVER RAISED MY GUN THE WHOLE 4 DAYS AS THE ONLY BUCKS I WAS ABLE TO SEE WERE ONE SPIKE AND ONE THREE POINT. I WAS TOLD WHEN BOOKING THAT THEY TOOK 70-80 BUCKS PER YEAR AND SOME OF THOSE WOULD SCORE ABOUT 160. THE TWO THAT WERE KILLED WHILE I WAS THERE SCORED LESS THAN 130 AND THE GUYS WORKING SAID THERE HAD ONLY BEEN 10-12 BUCKS TAKEN ALL YEAR. THE PEOPLE THERE ARE NICE FOLKS BUT I DONT THINK THEY REALLY CARE WHETHER YOU TAKE A DEER OR NOT THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY. AS FAR AS GUIDES GO THE ONLY ONE WHO SEEMED TO KNOW ANYTHING WAS THE OWNERS GRANDSON. HE ACTUALLY KNEW WHERE SOME DEER WERE. BY THE WAY THEY DO NO SCOUTING AND HAVE NO IDEA OF THE HERD SIZE. AS I SAID EARLIER SAME STANDS YEAR AFTER YEAR. IF YOU HAVE MONEY TO BLOW AND JUST WANT TO GET AWAY THE ACCOMADATIONS ARE NICE AND THE FOOD IS THE BEST PART OF THE TRIP. DONT GO HERE EXPECTING TO TAKE A DEER. I WAS TOLD 85% CHANCE IF YOU CAN SHOOT. IT IS MORE LIKE 85% CHANCE YOU COULD SEE A DEER.

Reviewer Comments: This is a first class organization. It is family owned and operated. The McKennas work this place year-around to ensure a safe, superior hunt. I was impressed with every aspect of the ranch. Mark McKenna knows the place like the back of his hand and knows where the deer are running. All stands were safe and clean with excellent visibility. I saw 35 deer in one sitting. This is the place to go to in Mississippi. Thanks to all the McKennas and Perry Deerman. I'll be back.
