Meet Mark Clifford - Founder, CEO & Owner
Lifelong Hunter & Army Veteran
I’m Mark Clifford, owner of Premier Outfitters. As a lifelong hunter with experience pursuing whitetails across the United States, I can confidently say that Western Kentucky is my favorite destination for whitetail hunting.
Hunting trophy whitetails is my passion, and for years, I’ve been driven to help others fulfill their dreams of harvesting a world-class buck.
With Western Kentucky’s fertile farmland, exceptional whitetail genetics, and dedicated management practices, I know this is the perfect place to make that passion a reality for our guests.
With over 25 years of hunting experience and countless interactions with outfitters, I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in this industry. While some outfitters were exceptional, others left much to be desired. Drawing from the best experiences and adding my own vision of what a top-tier outfitter should be, I created Premier Outfitters.
In the fall of 2008, after years of careful preparation, Premier Outfitters opened its lands for guided hunts, and a new tradition was born. Each year, members of the Premier Outfitters family return to pursue the trophy bucks that roam our grounds, joined by new hunters eager to experience the same excitement and success.
Although I no longer actively hunt or guide, the dedicated professional staff at Premier Outfitters under my direction remains committed to delivering a first-class experience. From world-class accommodations and delicious meals to quality equipment and a welcoming atmosphere, we ensure every guest has the opportunity to hunt trophy-class whitetails in a low-pressure environment.
Over the past 16+ years, I’ve acquired thousands of acres of the finest whitetail and turkey hunting land Western Kentucky has to offer. Yet, I’m never satisfied—I’m always searching for and acquiring new land to enhance our portfolio and provide the best hunting opportunities possible.
At Premier Outfitters, we’re confident you’ll not only enjoy a quality hunt but also an unforgettable overall experience.
