Hunter Reviews
Real experiences from our hunting community.
Tom Barnhart
Ross County, Ohio
"I've leased several properties from Stephen at Merk Farms over the years, and every experience has been excellent. The properties have consistently been high-quality hunting ground, and we've harvested several really nice deer on the farms we've leased. Stephen is always easy to work with and extremely responsive. Any time I've had a question, he gets back to me quickly and handles things professionally. Years ago, he also helped us through his lease finder program, which played a big role in helping us secure multiple properties in Kentucky. I've recommended Stephen to many friends who are looking for hunting land, and I'll continue to do so. He always has a strong roster of properties at fair prices, and the quality of the ground speaks for itself. If you're serious about finding good hunting property, I highly recommend working with Stephen and Merk Farms."

"Leasing from Merk Farms Hunting is the best decision I and my group have ever made. Stephen Ruckman is always prompt in returning information about his leases using email or by text messaging. I have leased from other places in the past. Hands down Merk Farms Hunting is the best with the quality of land, the feedback on each lease and information you need to have a successful hunt whether it's Deer or Turkey etc… lets not forget also the privacy, the two most irritating things I deal with are trespassers and people's dogs. I've been leasing a few years now and the privacy is what I like no dogs and no people interfering with my hunt. I have nothing but good to say and we are not going anywhere we are in this for the long haul. A big thanks to Stephen Ruckman for making this happen for us! Thanks again, Warren Anderson"

"I've been with Merk Farms close to 10yrs now. I filled my bucket list with a beautiful Kentucky velvet 8. You won't find anyone who works harder at securing and listing leases. I am super excited about the new website and look forward to many more years. I love seeing your family getting involved congrats."
