"I have been hunting whitetails for about 30 years but had never been on a guided hunt, so I did not know what to expect. My experience at Wilderness Whitetails totally exceeded anything I could have imagined. The lodging and food were definitely 5 star quality. The guides went above and beyond to find the class and type of racks we were looking for. The owners Greg, Shorty and their mom stopped by the lodge several times daily to ask if there was anything we needed. This is definitely a first class operation and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I will be back!!"
"Thanks again for another incredible hunting adventure at Wilderness Whitetails. Having taken the grand slam of North American sheep and going on uncountable hunts throughout the North American continent I feel that I'm more than qualified to say that Wilderness Whitetails is the best hunting experience of all.
This is truly a whitetail hunting adventure beyond all expectations. Your deer are getting better and older each year. Having taken a 9 and 7 year old the last two seasons I can say without reservation that this was an unequaled experience. These older bucks can be as crafty as any that I have taken, and I have taken a bunch.
Having just returned home, I find myself already dreaming of the next hunting adventure at Wilderness.
Don't change a thing. You're in hunting monster whitetails."

"Thanks for the photos. We want to thank you, Greg, Tom, Curt, John, Mike, Randy, Ralph, your mom and the rest of the staff for making our stay one of the best hunts we have ever been on. The lodge and your property are great, but you and your staff really made our hunt very memorable. Thanks again."
"Thanks for the photos and the information on the Wildlife Gallery. I had a great time and a wonderful hunting experience. Your lodge and property are amazing and your friendly, family-like hospitality and staff make it seem like hunting with friends. I truly enjoyed myself!"
"My group had a great time. Seven hunters and seven incredible deer! My son, dad and I will have memories of this that we will cherish forever. We received five-star treatment as guest but the treatment that you and all the guys provide make us feel like family. You are the premier whitetail hunting destination in the United States. Not only for the unbelievable deer but also because you and your employees go above and beyond on all that you do to make the trip and experience of a lifetime. Thank you Greg and Shorty and let all your guys know that they were all wonderful hosts. We can't wait for next year!"
"Sometimes at other places you almost want to go back to your cabin and get away from people. At Wilderness the guys all came over to our lodge and watched the video of us hunting our deer which means a lot… especially for a 14 year old boy to go there and take a huge whitetail. He's comfortable with the Flee's family. I am sooo satisfied I am coming back again. Great people and great animals."
"Greg and Shorty put on a good hunt...and then to go out and harvest the buck of a lifetime with them, it is just the greatest. With Wilderness Whitetails, it's all about hospitality. It's just unbelievable. I was brought up in the south, where it was all about hospitality. Greg and Shorty put a whole different meaning to the word hospitality. We were served what was considered to be a five-star meal at every sitting. The entire staff at Wilderness Whitetails are down to earth, kind-hearted people"
"I hunted at a different deer ranch and from the moment we got there it was clear that it was all about the dollar. Too commercial! At Greg and Shorty's it's no different than going to your own hunting camp where you have a say in what happens. The other place was miserable. We wanted to leave early but couldn't get a flight out. It was the worse hunt I have ever been on"
"As an outdoor writer, I've taken a lot of deer at high fence ranches. Wilderness Whitetails is the only one I ever "hunted" The terrain makes hunting difficult and the deer are far from the park-like animals I've seen at other facilities. In fact, I consider myself lucky that I took a deer at Wilderness Whitetails as not all that visit do so. Wilderness Whitetails is fair-chase hunting behind a fence."
“A childhood friend of mine, who is now a cardiologist, is a very avid hunter, as am I. We have been hunting together since we were kids. My friend went to the Safari Club show, where he met Greg and Shorty Flees of Wilderness Whitetails. When he came back he said, "I think I have found a home run!" He told me about Wilderness Whitetails and all of the work and knowledge these guys had put into the Whitetail hunting industry.
"Having heard of the Flees name, I told him to book us a hunt. The Flees reputation has all been understated. From my first hunt with the Flees family, it has been nothing but the upmost of memorable experiences. Last year I had the privilege and pleasure, with my friend to take our families on a vacation-hunting trip during Thanksgiving weekend. My daughter killed the dream buck of her lifetime. My son killed the buck of his lifetime. My friend and his entire family, his son-in-law and I all bagged trophy Whitetails. So to describe my Wilderness Whitetails experience -- it was not only a memorable experience, it was definitely the hunt of my lifetime. I do not see how there could be anything better.”
