From the founder
Welcome to Legends Ranch.
Dear Whitetail Enthusiast, thank you for your interest in Legends Ranch.
As a principal of Legends, I am committed to making this special place the top destination for whitetail hunting in the country. This commitment reflects my life-long passion for hunting and my enthusiasm for white-tailed deer.
I have always appreciated each trophy and, more importantly, I have come to appreciate what makes a memorable hunt. As you know, it is not just the trophy — it is also all of the details that, when done right, translate into a special memory, a new friendship, and a return trip.
The Journey
From a boy in Cuba to five SCI estate records.
I have been fortunate to travel the country and the world in the search of unique trophies and memorable hunting experiences. That journey started at the age of ten years old, when I was first introduced to hunting in my native Cuba — and it continues today, as I share my life-long passion with my son, daughter, grandsons, and fellow hunters.
Throughout my hunting career, I have accumulated five of the top-ten SCI estate whitetail records and have received the SCI World Hunter and Conservation Award. Every one of those trophies sits on the walls of the Wildlife Center — not as a boast, but as a reminder of what’s possible on this property.

What makes a legendary whitetail hunt.
Six elements we strive to deliver — every hunt, every guest, every season. The Legends standard isn’t just our claim; it’s the reason hunters return year after year.
01
Premium trophy whitetails
Scores above 200 inches. Not the ceiling — the floor on Presidential Hunts.
02
Professional, friendly staff
Committed to delivering a top hunting experience from gate to trophy room.
03
Beautiful field conditions
Pastures to wooded terrain — 2,000+ acres of managed habitat in Newaygo County.
04
A well-appointed lodge
All the modern conveniences, alongside the warmth of a northern rustic lodge — and a talented private chef.
05
A warm, friendly environment
Where clients celebrate each hunt and build lasting friendships with fellow whitetail enthusiasts.
06
An experience that exceeds
The trophy is only half the memory. The other half is what brings hunters back, year after year.
Presidential Hunts
Come join me on one of our world-class Presidential Hunts. With our dedication to growing and managing a top herd of white-tailed deer, it’s not uncommon for hunters to take multiple trophies while enjoying the company of fellow whitetail enthusiasts.
