Hi Kurt,
I just wanted to let you know I made it home ok. Doc came over to see the big boy within 15 minutes of me getting back. He was very impressed. I took the cape to the taxidermist today and we talked about doing a pedestal mount. I think its finally starting to sink in that I just harvested a WORLD CLASS WHITETAIL!!!!
Thanks again for the hunt of a lifetime.

Dear Mr. Nunnenkamp:
Thank you for the opportunity not only to be able to hunt in Kansas in September, but also for letting me come back for another chance at my first buck. I appreciate the efforts you made to help me harvest it, and also your hospitality at camp. I enjoyed the excellent food and rooms.
During this trip, I have made several memories. Some of my favorite recollections include during the time Dad pointed out the deer behind us. While I was excitedly waiting, it finally moved in front so that I could see it. When I looked through the scope, I got my first good look at a buck! The shot was fairly decent at 140 yards, and I heard the buck crash shortly after. I also remember tracking the blood trail, checking it out, and seeing its weight and points. The gutting was also fun to watch. Of course, it was also nice to be able to sleep in, play pool, and hang around waiting to see if anyone else shot anything. Looking for Jerry’s deer was a good experience, too.
Thank you again for my stay in Kansas . Although I hope to be able to return someday, it probably will be harder to be able to get a bigger buck than this season!
Sincerely,

Kurt and Mike,
I would like to once again thank you for the great time I had with you guys at Paradise Adventures. The lodge, meals and everyone at the camp were excellent, not to mention the deer hunting. It just wasn’t the same hunting at home after being in Kansas. I am spending a lot of time trying to find areas that hold some deer that are close to the bucks in Kansas. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll find one. Thanks again for the great time.

Kurt,
Just wanted to thank everyone at Paradise Adventures for a wonderful trip. This was my first hunting trip outside of Michigan. I would have never expected that I would shoot the biggest buck in my 20+ years of hunting white tail deer in the first 30 minutes of hunting. What a wonderful experience that was! The experience of watching my co-hunters in camp bringing in trophy bucks one after another will be a memory I will never forget. Thanks again to everyone, looking forward to next year.

Kurt and Mike,
I just wanted to send a brief note to thank you for your hospitality during my visit to Kansas. My stay at Paradise Adventures was an unforgettable experience. I’ve already begun telling the stories to my friends and family here in Pennsylvania. I had a great time meeting you, your guides, and your guests, and getting to know you all. I’m vastly richer for the new friends I made, both in the field and at the camphouse. I can’t wait until I am able to return to hunt with you again. I’ll definitely be in touch to book upcoming deer and turkey hunts.
Cordially,

Kurt,
Our hunt could not have ended or been any better than it was. I appreciate the hospitality and hard work your family put forth during our stay. My clients really enjoyed their stay and were surprised by the quality of hunting in Kansas. Also, thank you for the turkey vest I will look forward to using it next season. I will be in touch! Keep up the good work!

Kurt and Mike,
Both Greg and I really enjoyed hunting with you guy last fall and are very much looking forward to this year’s archery hunt….. Thanks again! You guys should be proud of your first class hunting operation!
Good Hunting,

Kurt and Mike,
As I watch out the back of my house every night and realize we’re only 6 months away from another hunt, my blood starts boiling in the hopes of another Monster Kansas Buck!! Hopefully it’s my time to be the top dog! Ruff! But honestly getting a big buck is any one of our dreams; however, meeting and getting to know people like you, Mike and your families is one of the best treasures and experiences I have taken back from Altoona, KS.

Kurt,
Just a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed my visit to Paradise Adventures. Everyone was open and friendly and made me feel very welcome. I was especially thrilled at getting my very first two eastern turkeys. Your guides were patient and extremely helpful and very skilled at getting the turkeys to come in! Many thanks for a wonderful visit!

Kurt,
Thank you for your time helping my brother and I hunt turkeys. I really appreciate the effort you put in to make sure we had a successful hunt. There were a lot of things I enjoyed about our trip to Paradise Adventures such as landscaping, the scenery, and of course the wildlife. We will almost certainly come again next year, maybe bringing one of my sisters too.
Thanks again,
