Back to Our Roots Wildlife is now a licensed hunting preserve, with over 160 enclosed acres nestled in the heart of West Virginia woodlands located 35 minutes north of the state’s capital, Charleston.

We aim to give our animals & hunters a natural experience. Hunters will bunk in our modern rustic lodge in addition to the homecooked meals & a personal Hunting Guide.

For adventurous hunters wanting to hunt native in the WV season, we also have availability for Self-Guided Hunts on over 100 acres of private land bordering over 10,000 acres of DNR land.

“Hunt from one of our stands or hike your way through the hollers & mountains, enjoying all the breathtaking scenery while hunting the animal you wish to claim.”

About Us

Butch & Debra welcome you to explore a “Back to Our Roots Wildlife” natural trophy hunting experience. Breathe in the crisp mountain air & lose yourself in the endless beauty of deep hollers & steep mountains of ancient woodlands while waiting for your trophy to come along.

As a grass roots family man, Robert (Butch) Jett, Jr grew up in the hollers of Grannies Creek, Newton, WV where his love for the outdoors continued to grow and included the dream of offering a unique hunting experience to others in the beautiful area that he has enjoyed his whole life. One of his proudest accomplishments includes being the reason an Elk bugle sounded in the holler for the first time in over 100 years.

His lovely wife, Debra, also grew up in the hollers of Grannies Creek & shares his passion for nature. She is the caretaker of their herd, making sure they are healthy & thriving. She will also be making sure you are comfortable & well fed with home cooked meals during your stay.
