What We Do Not Offer for all excursions
- Lodging - Lodging options range from free primitive
camping in the hunting areas to furnished cabin rentals,
motels, bed & breakfast inns and for pay campgrounds.
If you're in the area at least once a year you might want to
consider a timeshare rental or more permanent lodging
options. We can offer lodging for hunting clients.
- Food - Due to insurance liability restrictions we
cannot provide food for our clients. There are local grocery stores
and many restaurants to choose from.
- Transportation - We cannot provide transportation to or
from the hunt area. Most of the roads to the hunt area are
National Forest dirt or gravel roads. Off road vehicles are
not permitted behind any gates on Forest Service roads and
in most areas not permitted on main roads in the National
Forest.
Ask your guide what the local regulations are concerning
ORV's in the hunt area you choose.
- Hunting License/Permits - The Wildlife Resources
Agency in all states requires individual identification so we cannot
provide licenses or permits.
- Hunting Equipment, ammunition, tree stands, etc.
- 100% guaranteed kills
- We do not offer "canned hunts" where
there are animals contained in a fenced in area therefore we
cannot give you a 100% guaranteed kill. We hunt the

clients a true hunting challenge.

processor.
- Taxidermy Services
- Brochures* (see note below)

In order to continue to operate in the
most efficient manner possible, and due to increases in
paper, printing, mailing expenses, and operating costs (rapid rise in fuel expenses), for the foreseeable
future, Appalachia Adventures will no longer be
sending out printed brochures. You can use the links on the left
side of the site for detailed information. Should you have
