Upland Game Info

Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa are a wild bird hunter's paradise. We have an excellent population of wild bobwhites and some areas offer good numbers of pheasants. It is not uncommon to get into 5-8 coveys of quail a day for some fast action. These are 100% wild birds, not planted. We hunt fence lines along corn and soybean fields and food plots in CRP fields and numerous native grass fields. You can bring your own dog or we have dogs available and will show you a great bird hunt. We have also added a hunting preserve for upland game birds, we are offering quail, pheasant, and chukar. You can bring your own dogs or we have dogs available.

This hunt can be added to all fall/winter hunts at an additional cost.

Lodging and Meals

We offer great accommodations; with 11 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms you will not be waiting in line for a hot shower or to use the restroom. Our lodge is a few years old and offers all of the modern conveniences. Central air and heat, Satellite TV, Wireless Internet, 2 scent-free washers/dryers, boot dryers, 30-yard indoor archery range, and an outdoor 3-D archery range. All of our bedding is washed in Scent Free detergent and we have a complete kitchen and dining area in a separate building to eliminate food odors from the lodge. We are very scent conscious, and we try to keep everything as scent-free as possible.

Our lodge has 2 master suites with queen size beds, each with their own private bathrooms. Some of the other rooms sleep 2- 3 people and have storage for all of your gear. The lodge is a hunting lodge decorated, with numerous trophy mounts that I or the guides have taken over the past few years. We have comfortable sofas and recliners in the great room, a video selection, reading material, and some board games for those that tag out early.

The Kitchen/dining area is a separate area, very close, well stocked, and a great place to eat and drink while trading stories and tales of past hunts. There is plenty to eat and drink; you will not go hungry while you are at Border Bucks. We will keep the drink cooler well stocked with soda and bottled water and the cabinets filled with snacks, and homemade cookies to keep your sweet tooth satisfied.

Breakfast is a glorified continental offering of cereal, oatmeal, breakfast burritos, bagels, pastries, toast, juice, milk, and coffee. Each and every hunter may choose what he or she wants. Lunches will vary with different seasons, and for those dedicated hunters that will spend all day out in the field, there is always plenty to choose from. We have lunchmeat, condiments, and cheese available and each hunter may make their own sandwiches and have as much as they need for the energy to make the big kill. Chips and other snacks are available. Dinner is always a home-cooked meal with dessert. You will not walk away hungry.

If you happen to be with us during the Spring Turkey season, you will more than likely find yourself attending a fish fry, with homemade French fries, fresh crappie, and morel mushrooms!

Base price is per person for a 3-Day Predator Hunt. Add non-hunters for an additional fee per person.
