- Come hunt the beautiful Missouri Ozarks and chase our big whitetail deer and wild eastern turkeys. We have several cabins available and over 700 acres of hunting land that joins large tracts of wild timberland where the monsters can grow old and narly. Many hunters have taken the best deer or turkey of their lives with us. We have several tracts of hunting land most is just a short 15 minute drive from our lodge and main cabins. We have taken several bucks over 150 inches over the years including a 17 point giant and a 15 pointer that was nearly 180 inches. These are wild, low fence deer. We have several box blinds and over 30 two man ladder stands to hunt from. This is a stand hunt and nearly all of our stand locations have taken good bucks except for several we move or set up in new places each year. We have lot's of food plots scattered around and some stands are back in crossing areas back in the woods. Lot's of brush and shooting lanes here so bring enough gun so they don't go far.

- "Big Whitetails are unlike other deer, they are extremely reclusive and in most cases a Ghost in the woods. It takes a different strategy to hunt them. While I certainly can't guarantee you will take a trophy buck with me I can guarantee I will do everything I can to get you on a nice buck. Many of my hunters have taken the biggest deer of their life with me and that always puts a big smile on everyone's face!" Bob Parker

Big Game
Missouri’s big game species include White-tailed deer, Wild turkey, and limited hunts for Black bear and Elk. There is no general “hunting license” that covers big game – instead, hunters purchase permits for each species and season.
Deer hunting permits are available over the counter for most seasons and areas. Residents and non-residents may buy Archery Deer permits and Firearms Deer permits (which are divided into “Any-Deer” and “Antlerless Deer” hunting permits). If targeting Antlerless deer, non-residents also need to buy one of the “Any-Deer” or “Managed deer” licenses.
Missouri’s archery deer permit allows taking two deer (only one antlered), while firearms deer permits generally allow one deer.
Some areas are restricting Deer harvest and are accessible only by drawing.
Turkey permits are available over-the-counter for both spring and fall seasons.
Black bear hunting in Missouri is newly established and is managed by a lottery draw available only for residents. Likewise, Elk hunting in Missouri is extremely limited and for residents only – a handful of elk permits are given out via lottery each year.
Small Game
Missouri requires a Small Game Hunting Permit for hunting small game (upland birds, small mammals, etc.) which can be purchased over-the-counter.
In addition, Missouri requires a Migratory Bird Hunting Permit for hunting migratory birds like Doves, Waterfowl, Snipe, and Woodcock and a Federal Duck Stamp for waterfowl hunters.
Furbearers (such as bobcat, fox, coyote) may be hunted with a Small Game permit, but to trap furbearers or sell pelts a separate Trapping Permit is required.
Documents Needed
- Small Game Hunting Permit
- Big Game Permits (Deer/Turkey)
- Migratory Bird Permit
- Federal Duck Stamp
- Conservation ID – allows multiple permits to be carried on a single plastic card
- Hunter Education Card
Minimum Hunter Age
Missouri’s minimum hunting age is 11 (hunters under 11 cannot be certified in hunter education). Youth ages 6 through 15 may purchase youth permits (at reduced prices) for deer and turkey but those aged 6–11 must hunt in the immediate presence of a licensed adult mentor. Youth hunters ages 12–15 must either be accompanied by a licensed adult or have completed hunter education to hunt alone.
