Over 40 years ago, Elway Gray had a vision that was ahead of his time. He wanted to create Michigan's first Trophy Whitetail hunting enclosure. Hid determination and hard work paid off as he opened Kings Manor in the early 1970s. Now almost 40 years later at Kings Manor, we have a solid deer management plan in place with a diverse cross section of genetics. We are dedicated to providing the ultimate experience in a truly fair chase hunt. We are thankful that Elway Gray followed his vision all those years ago because without places like Kings Manor, harvesting a Big Record Book Trophy Whitetail would be rare.

Our location lends itself to a picture perfect hunting area and the ability to grow large bodied and heavily antlered Whitetail deer. From the natural cedar to the unique undergrowth and assorted swap grasses, this becomes an ideal habitat when joined with our managed breeding and feeding program. The Big bodied whitetail deer with large headgear are thriving- once in a lifetime trophy bucks scoring over 170 B.C being common!! If you are really searching for a 200 B.C type Trophy whitetail, we feel this can be accomplished. These trophies are hard to come by, but we will do our best to help you in adding one to your trophy collection.

Our early season Hunters harvest deer over 300 pounds on a regular basis. These are your true northern heavyweights. We position our heard and harvest our bucks starting at the age of 4.5 years old, the age bracket when they become a real trophy with an ideal age bracket of 6.5 years old. We manage our herd well and have trophy deer available in all age classes.
