HistoryLocated in central Michigan, the Sanctuary ranch is legendary within the hunting industry. Founded in 1978, Sanctuary has become the Mecca of whitetail deer enthusiasts. The ranch is approximately four square miles in size with high hills and gullies, thick hardwood slash and cedar swamps. The Sanctuary has intensely managed whitetail deer for almost thirty years. Our incredible harvest records are the result of over 30 years of intensive management of a native Michigan deer herd. All deer are born and spend their entire life in a wild environment. Renowned biologist and outdoor writer Larry Weishuhn said that these were some of the smartest and most elusive bucks he has ever hunted. The Sanctuary is the best - bar none!
