Lost Mountain Outfitters operates across Eastern Kentucky's elk restoration zone, which covers 16 counties and approximately 4.1 million acres. The region holds roughly 10,000 elk—the highest elk population east of the Mississippi River—along with world-class whitetail and turkey populations.
Hurley Combs has 10+ years of professional guiding experience and has been hunting since age 5. The outfitter has guided harvests of 400+ inch bull elk and helped hunters take record-book bucks regularly. They've hosted notable personalities including Bone Collector's Nicholas Wayne Mundt and guided successful muzzleloader and firearm hunts across multiple seasons.
The hunting package covers everything from arrival to final trophy delivery:
A typical hunt day runs:

| After breakfast | Morning hunt |
| Noon | Lunch (homemade chili, sandwiches) |
| Afternoon | Field return, rest at camp |

Suppers feature harvested elk, deer, antelope, and turkey with deep-fried potatoes, baked beans, and homemade desserts. Evening entertainment includes Appalachian music around the campfire.
Elk Hunting - Kentucky's elk restoration has created a growing population ahead of original projections. Prime habitat across reclaimed strip mines and mountainous terrain.
Deer Hunting - Big buck success rates in Eastern Kentucky are described as "astounding," with hunters regularly breaking record books. Guided hunts target trophy whitetails.
Turkey Hunting - Spring and fall seasons bring gobbler hunts. Kentucky consistently ranks #1 or #2 nationally for turkeys per square mile.
Hurley Combs responds to booking inquiries within 24 hours. They can accommodate hunters with Kentucky elk permits (bull/cow, firearm/archery weeks) as well as those seeking deer or turkey hunts.
