The hunt was absolutely a wonderful experience. After check-in, we were greeted by our host and given a tour of our hunting spot which has a marvelous view of Highbridge. That evening we walked around the village and had a really good dinner at the onsite restaurant. The following morning my grandson Sam and I headed to our field for the hunt. It was a beautiful spot with turkeys gobbling and train whistles in the background. As you can see from the pictures, we were successful in calling in a very nice bird. We spent the rest of the day touring the village, taking a hayride, and eating again at the onsite restaurant because the previous night’s meal was so good.

This was a memory that Sam and I will share for a lifetime.

Thank you,
Bill Bedini, 2021 Kentucky Turkey Hunt Winner

Conservation at Work Every Day

Shaker Village's Wildlife Habitat Management Project

Through a partnership with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Shaker Village has restored more than 1,200 acres of native warm-season grasses and wildflowers. The project has resulted in an explosion in quail and songbirds. The KDFWR considers Shaker Village a statewide model of successful habitat management. This superior native habitat requires significant management, including controlled burns, herbicide treatments, regular plantings, and ongoing monitoring. Proceeds from the hunt support this wildlife conservation project and other efforts.
