Business Details

Full description and what we offer

Blake Marshall's path to founding King of Eights Outfitters started at age 3 on a family property in Georgia with his father teaching him to hunt and fish. By 17, he was guiding deer and turkey hunts regularly. After degrees in Business Management and Construction Management, he moved to Texas in 2012 and spent years making connections in the outdoor industry before catching his break. The name came from his personal best deer—a free-range 8-pointer scoring over 150 B&C points. His cousin Keith spotted it and said, "You're the King of Eights, Blake." The logo was sketched on a napkin during a drive back to Texas and stuck.

Blake's philosophy: "I am because of the great 'I AM'." The crown on the logo represents Jesus's crown; the "8" symbolizes "New Beginnings" in scripture. The outfitter sees hunting as ministry—connecting people to God's creation and showing others "the way."

All-Inclusive Model: Lodging, meals, guides, game care, cleaning, and quartering are included in most hunt packages. Trophy prep and taxidermy available on request.
