hunts are booked on a first-pay-first-reserved basis. The balance
for bow is due one week prior to your hunt, or if approved
by the Hunt Manager, when you arrive. No deposits will be refunded
for any reason. You may, however, transfer to another date, or
be applied to another hunter when there is an opening.

Management Philosophy:
Berger Farms is dedicated to the singular goal of providing quality
trophy hunting for the best whitetail deerhunting North America.
We could accommodate many more than the 30 bow hunters over the
3 1/2 month season. Berger Farms, however, wants to have better
deer and trophy hunting 30 years from now than presently exists.
We require that each hunter attempt to harvest a mature buck
of 4 1/2 years or older, so that the younger bucks may reach their
full trophy potential. Berger Farms has the genetics, the habitat,
the food and supplements, with the other key ingredient being
hunter restraint.
Some of our clients will be happy to harvest their "personal"
best whitetail buck with a bow. We understand that, but you are
required to harvest mature bucks of at least 15 inches wide, or
at least four points on one side.
