- Bob Parker has won several awards from African Hunter of the Year, Best Missouri Whitetail, and numerous Bow Awards with his recurve bow. He has several entries in Safari Club International and also Missouri Big Bucks Club. Bob has taken lot's of big Southern Missouri whitetails over the years and uses his knowledge of an assortment of hunting tactics to help his clients take one one of hardest animals on the planet to hunt, a mature free ranging whitetail buck!
- "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

Success rate
First 7 hunters killed big trophy Toms within first 3 hours of first mourning including youth hunters in 2025. My last hunter killed a big tom but his son did not but heard 7 gobbling around them the last day. Lot's of birds this year! Should be an excellent season. Our success rate should be very good this year. Texas County Missouri is one of the best places to hunt big Eastern Gobblers there is. Most Toms are 20 pounds up to 23 pounds. We have taken birds up to 26 pounds here. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks, Bob

Great Hunt and Great People
I liked the amount of birds and getting to hear some gobblers in the morning time! Bob and Karen were great host ! He knew his land and had it well managed great time !
All good no issues. Except a few ticks but you will have that during turkey season.
It's a hunt not grocery shopping !
It's not a big property but there's a bunch of game traffic....i was fortunate to call in a couple bucks and take a shot at one but not get it with my longbow. That's my own fault. For the price I'm more than happy and the lodge is great. Internet not so much. But definitely got my monies worth and then some
That i didn't see any does lol
Lots of deer, great properties to enjoy, cabin is a nice base camp
Opportunities were there, nice stand placements for gun hunters, seen some great bucks, and in a week seen over 40 deer, lots of turkey, and wildlife.
Compound bow hunting could be catered to a bit more, although i was very happy with overall options of stands.
