3-Day Self-Guided Waterfowl Hunt | North Central Missouri

Jacksonville, MO

4-10 Guests • Lodge • Private • Self-Guided/DIY

Description

Fully Guided & All-Inclusive

With our strategy of hunting one client group at a time, scheduling breaks between groups during season, and ending hunting at 1:00 p.m. everyday, we keep a low-pressured area to ensure we hold birds like nowhere else, and provide some of the best hunting the Mississippi flyway has to offer.

Self-guided hunts take place out of pit-blinds and large wooden duck blinds to keep our clients comfortable while mallards back flap into the decoy spread. You can bring your own decoys, or I have decoys that your group is welcome to use.

With hunts taking place over extensively managed moist soil habitat, flooded timber, flooded row-crop, and dry fields, we scout daily and provide a recommendation of hunt location for every group to give our clients the best chance of limiting out every morning.

Duck Hunting Package Includes:

Three days of self-guided hunting and three nights lodging
Decoys (If needed)
In-season wild quail and pheasant hunting can be added in the afternoon and includes a guide and dog handler. Additional fees apply.
Archery and Crossbow deer hunts can also be added at no additional charge in the afternoons, but do have trophy fees if a deer is harvested. (Bucks scoring > 135 SCI are $2,000 per deer, Bucks scoring <135 are $1,500 per deer, Does are $250 per deer)

Base price is per person per 3-Day/3-Night Hunt. Minimum group-size of four hunters.

Reviews

"This is a great group of guys that know their way around a duck blind and marsh. They have great accommodations in their lodge. I was privileged enough to be selected as a veteran hunter on a veteran hunt they put on during opening morning of duck season 2019. In two days we knocked down our fair share of ducks." - Craig K.

"Experience of a lifetime!!! Definitely the full package and has so much to offer!" - Johnston M.
