  I had the honor and privilege to hunt the Legends Ranch a few weeks ago. I found it particularly important to write this review due to the incredible experience that I had while hunting. I was able to be part of the Legends Ranch Purple Heart Hunt; a hunt that is dedicated to service men and women who were injured in combat. A week prior to our arrival, Legends Ranch also hosted a hunt for children suffering from illnesses and other medical complications. Neither of the two hunts cost the hunter any out-of-pocket expense.
  
  We were picked up at the Grand Rapids Airport in a camo limo bus. This was the start of the incredible four-day hunting event that I will never forget! Paul Smutz, the ranch manager, personally picked us up. Paul is truly an incredible individual, and quite possibly one of the most humble people I have ever met.
  
  After arriving to the ranch, the staff were waiting outside and personally greeted each one of us. We were not allowed to touch our bags. The staff wishes to provide a work-free environment for its guests. The staff took all of our bags and equipment to our rooms and staging areas. They took drink requests, started to place out snacks for us, and gave us the grand tour of the beautiful lodge we resided in for the next four days. The view from the dining area is incredible. A beautiful lake is just a stone's throw away, and there are numerous species of fish to catch.
  
  The meals by Chef Lawrence, the full-time on-site chef, were beyond words. Everything was fresh, prepared to perfect temperatures, and served by loving, kind kitchen staff. If someone went hungry, it was his or her own fault.
  
  My first morning in the stand, I saw numerous trophy whitetails. However, I was targeting a 140-150 inch buck. The first evening, after watching twenty-eight different bucks, I harvested my beautiful eleven point. He scored 157.25 inches of horn. The next day, I harvested three does in less than thirty minutes! It was an incredible sight to see. I have never witnessed any whitetail hunt this incredible in my life, and I have hunted for eighteen years.
  
  I want to illustrate the kindness and dedication each staff member has that works at Legends. They truly create a family atmosphere that is genuine and indescribable in this writing. I also was able to meet and tour Legends' Research Facility where they focus on managing a healthy, prosperous herd of monster whitetails.
  
  God is truly present in the hearts of all of those who work at Legends Ranch. Each worker's individual testimony of faith need not be talked about because they demonstrate it every day in their words, actions, and hard work. You will not meet a more professional deer hunting venue than Legends Ranch in Bitely, Michigan. I am honored to have the opportunity to hunt with such fine people.

  i have hunted in several different places but i must say this was a totally different experience than i could have ever imagined. this was my most memorable hunt to date and the entire 5 days i was there is something i will cherish forever. the friendliness of the staff to the amazing food, clean well appointed rooms, and beautiful grounds make this place stand out. the staff makes it there business to know your name and make you feel like you have known them for years. there is not one aspect of this place i would not give five stars to. the deer on the property are absolutely amazing true trophies. they have running this ranch down to a science and everything runs flawlessly. from timing the hunts to the meals etc its a hunters paradise. they far exceeded any expectations i ever had. i would return here in a heartbeat and plan to return next year and as many years after that i can. it was truly an unforgettable experience. thank you to the Legends Ranch Staff for making my trip here so amazing and i can't wait to return!

  I have been hunting at Legends Ranch for the past eight years and have a house full of trophies and good memories.
  
  Legends Ranch provides top notch customer service and accommodations with a very attentive staff focused on providing all your needs, delicious meals and a world class spacious lodge. It is our home away from home.
  
  Under new management, Legends Ranch has improved on their sterling reputation elevating the standards of service to higher levels. The management and guides are wonderful and highly informed always placing safety first. When we arrived at Legends Ranch the guides immediately took us to the range and made sure our guns were sighted in correctly and answered any questions we had about the upcoming hunt. As we arrived at our blinds they ensured our weapons were properly handled and loaded. Management put a lot of time and commitment into making sure we had a great experience and the best opportunity to harvest the trophy deer we said we wanted.
  
  While I enjoyed the trip as an experienced hunter, the staff makes brand new hunters feel safe and welcomed. My nephew, who was a first time hunter, was counseled and trained on proper gun safety and how to conduct a proper hunt. This hands on training and instruction was instrumental in ensuring his love for the sport.
  
  Finally, my wife, who is not a hunter, was made to also feel welcomed and pampered by the Legends Ranch management and staff, which included a massage therapist.
  
  Legends Ranch provided us a great hunting experience. We encourage others to chase your hunting dreams here.
