What Is the Most Expensive Guided Deer Hunt in Tennessee?
By Quick answerGoodman Ranch's three-day guided whitetail hunt holds the record for Tennessee at $3,995, a flat price for one hunter, not a per-person rate that climbs with group size, and it excludes the Tennessee hunting license and deer tag. That's the top of 22 whitetail packages sold by Tennessee's 12 outfitters.

Pricing reflects live GuidedHunts outfitter listings, last updated August 2026. Always confirm current pricing and availability directly with the outfitter before booking.
Why the runner-up isn't really that far behind
Elk River Outfitters' five-day rifle hunt is priced per hunter, not per group. Set beside Goodman's flat rate, a single hunter's price looks close — but a two-person party at Elk River clears $4,500 together, already past Goodman's number. Flat and per-person are different kinds of price; the higher number only wins once the math matches your group.
The record-holder isn't hunters' top pick
Goodman Ranch holds the top price, but not the top trust score among Tennessee's whitetail outfitters — that honor goes to G2G Hunting, on the strength of a deep review history. Chasing the biggest bill and chasing the safest bet are different questions; this page only answers the first.

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.

My husband and I and our 5 kids, ranging in age from 10-21, just spent the most amazing few days at Pine Ridge Farm…
Incredible hunting experience at Goodman Ranch! The property is breathtaking—saw trophy whitetail and even a rare white fallow deer right from the cabin. The main lodge is spacious, clean, and perfect for relaxing after a day in the field…
