Who has the cheapest deer hunting in Tennessee?
By Quick answerWindsor Woods Hunting Ranch has the cheapest deer hunt we can compare in Tennessee: $225 for a one-day bowhunt, one of 22 packages across the 12 outfitters here that guide whitetail deer (Tennessee's elk hunts are priced on a separate page). Triple C Ranch prices lower on paper, at $200 a person per day, but that's a day rate rather than a fixed hunt total, so it isn't quite the same comparison. Add the $214 nonresident hunting licence that neither price includes, and the real floor for an out-of-state hunter is $439.
Matching packages
Pricing reflects live GuidedHunts outfitter listings, last updated August 2026. Always confirm current pricing and availability directly with the outfitter before booking.
Where the floor actually sits
Nine of the 22 packages publish a price you can compare against each other: a flat rate or a per-person total, not a per-day add-on. Those nine run from $225 at Windsor Woods to $3,995 for a three-day Trophy Hunt at Goodman Ranch. The middle of them is $1,500.
Watch for day rates quoted as if they were the floor: a "$275 a day" figure isn't comparable to a flat one-day price until you know how many days it runs. The $225 above is the whole hunt.
What the licence adds
None of the prices above include Tennessee's hunting licence. A nonresident licence covering seven days of all-game hunting costs $214 (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency). Add that to Windsor Woods' $225 bowhunt and a licensed out-of-state hunter pays $439: not $225, and not Google's $275 either.
Bow, rifle or muzzleloader
Method changes the price here more than the outfitter does. The cheapest archery package is $200, the cheapest rifle package $250, the cheapest muzzleloader package $275. Archery accounts for six of the priced packages, rifle seven, muzzleloader two.
Cheapest and most-trusted are different questions
The outfitters ranked below are sorted by a rating that weighs review volume against the star average, not by price. G2G Hunting leads that ranking; Windsor Woods and Triple C Ranch, which hold the two cheapest packages, don't. The two lists answer different questions: cheapest above, most trusted below.
Two things to weigh before booking
Nineteen of the 22 packages state at least one inclusion. Lodging is the most common, in 11 of them; a guide is in 10.
Across the 12 outfitters, 1,268 Google reviews average 4.38 stars. Ninety-eight of those reviews are one star, not zero. A star average alone hides that; the full spread doesn't.
If you actually wanted a different deer
"Deer" here means whitetail. Tennessee's own season and licence rules treat elk as a separate animal with its own quota permit, and this page follows that split: Tennessee has 6 elk packages, priced on their own page. Red deer (5 packages) and fallow deer (11 packages) are farm-raised exotics, not the deer TWRA manages, and they're priced on their own pages too.

How we rank: Outfitters are ranked by a credibility-weighted rating that blends each outfitter's verified Google star rating with how many reviews back it up — so a strong average from many hunters outranks the same average from only a few — then by the breadth of deer packages they offer (live inventory, last updated August 2026). Prices, ratings and review counts come straight from each outfitter's current listings — always confirm details before you book.
