Our company was established in 2000 and operates in 1 territory.
We are an Orvis Endorsed Wingshooting Lodge destination. We strive to be the Midwest's premier hunting destination, partnering with business organizations in order to fulfill their customer appreciation and employee recognition needs. Our team aims to provide full service custom hunting and shooting events, while continually working to provide the best possible experience for every customer that visits us. With our kennels for dog training and boarding, our new lodge with bar & restaurant on site, and our various hunting and clay shooting options, we are fulfilling our goal of being a prestigious full service destination that offers outstanding recreational outdoor experiences.
About this hunt
Experience the sunrise reflecting off our private lake while peering out of our spacious, 15-person, heated pit blind just yards from the Missouri River on the famous central flyway. After shooting teal, mallards, Canadians or snows at first light, enjoy a hot, gourmet breakfast made by your guide.
Imagine staking out on padded seats in a comfortable blind and smelling a much needed hot breakfast after having hundreds of snow geese spiraling down to land over a 1,500 decoy spread! Wait for what seems like eternity for your guide to give the command to let your shotgun bark! Then watch as the talented dogs retrieve your fallen birds.

We have most of the equipment you need in the Pro Shop. Waders are not needed. We suggest dark flat colors or camouflage clothing, a face mask, camouflage ball cap, warm clothes (it's easier to shed clothes than to find additional layers), a 20 or 12 gauge with a plug (3 shells is maximum), steel or non toxic shot, and licenses.
We are excited to open the Orvis Endorsed Ben Schoonover Lodge. Overlooking the southern exposure of the Loess Hills, the Lodge will feature three stories with 15 rooms: 12 rooms featuring two queen beds, and three rooms featuring one king bed. Rooms measure 400 sq. feet and have private baths. Each floor of the lodge will have a lounge area, providing hunting groups privacy. A freestanding fireplace extends through all three floors, and we are excited to have a full commercial kitchen, bar, dining room, pool tables, conference rooms, balconies and outdoor seating.
