Top 15 Self Guided Hunting Trips

Missouri Turkey Hunting

Wild turkey hunting in Missouri is some of the finest turkey hunting in the states and you're in for a real treat on our property. It has never before been opened up for turkey hunting. Our property is a working farm and we know the 2,000+ acres well. You will hunt many pre-scouted locations where birds are roosting.

Lodging is provided in our beautiful, brand-new cabin which can accommodate up to 4 hunters and features a full kitchen, laundry and bathroom. Everything you need is in one place -- simply wake up and hunt!

If you never hunted in Missouri, we recommend our semi-guided hunts due to the vast area we hunt. We will take you into pre-scouted areas that we know have turkey and offer suggestions on how to hunt the area.

We will spend as much time as needed with your party to show you the area and different terrains for you to hunt. For the rest of the trip, you and your party will be hunting on your own.

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.

5 Days
DIY (with map) or Unguided

We are based in the center of Washington's moose hunting areas. We have been guiding hunters in this area for over 40 years with dozens of successful moose hunts to their credit. Our guides are the most experienced moose hunting guides in Washington and have an A+ rating at the Better Business Bureau.

Hunt Options
Unguided Hunts: Include lodging, meals, a map and directions for you to hunt on your own, and you will pack out your own game.
DIY Moose Hunting Map: Dale marks at least four good moose hunting areas on the map and sends it to you. This will save you many days of time and hundreds of dollars in fuel trying to find the best places to hunt. No other services are included.

Hunting Methods
Depending on your weapon and time of the season, hunt methods may include using a 4x4 vehicle for access, glassing logging cuts and hillsides, watching water holes or feeding areas, calling, and tracking.

Hunt Areas
Most of the moose hunting areas are in northeast Washington north of Spokane. Elevations vary from 2500 to 6000 feet, the terrain is rolling mountains and drainages with dense evergreen forests and logging cuts.

Trophy Quality
Most bulls taken have had 38" to 48" wide antlers. Numerous record class bulls have been taken in northeast Washington.

Success and Weapons
Shot opportunity has been 100% most years. Rifles should be .25 caliber or larger and zeroed at 200 yards, most shots are 50 to 250 yards. Archers should practice from 10 to 60 yards.

Season & Best Time
Moose seasons run from Oct 1 to Nov 30. Archery is best in early October when rutting bulls can be called in close. Rifle hunting is also very good in late Oct or Nov after leaves fall and snow offers better visibility and tracking.

Accommodations
Indoor lodging and meals are provided at our home/lodge and cabins. Hunters will need to bring a 4x4 auto for their own transportation.

Base price is for the DIY Hunt. For Unguided Hunts, see Additional Costs.
Non-Hunters are included in Additional Costs.

For the self-sufficient angler that wants to spend a week on the world-famous Naknek, exploring this angling paradise on his own.

Package Includes:

• Private Riverfront Cabin

• All Food in our Comfortable Dining Room

• Transportation to and from the King Salmon Airport

• Boat and Motor with Gas

Early Season – June & July

Smolting Rainbows on the Naknek:

8 weight with floating line for main river Rainbows, and shooting line or zip line for sockeye. If you would like to bring a sink tip for streamers bring it but make sure you have a floating line first.

The best rainbow fishing is close to camp. The rainbows concentrate on salmon smolt and leeches migrating downstream to the ocean. The best offerings include large rabbit strip and marabou leeches in black, olive, and dark brown. NOT egg-sucking leeches. Minnow imitations are also deadly in small to medium sizes.

• Rainbows at Brooks: Brooks is flies only. In June, July, and early August, rainbows will eagerly take mice, dead drifted small dries, sculpins and leeches.

  • Recommended Tackle: an 8 ½ to 10-foot fly rod for a 5-6 weight line. The WF floater is the most popular choice, although sink-tips (130 grain to 200 grain) will work as well. 3x to 5x tippets.

• Grayling at Idavain: This fishing starts out with a 1-mile hike to the better fishing grounds. Grayling are best fished with light tackle. I would use a 4 or 5-weight fly rod with a floating line. #12 and #14 Adams, caddis, and stoneflies (dry), small beadhead nymphs, leeches, woolybuggers, and deer hair mice will all work here.

• Kings: These begin showing up in mid-June, building throughout the month. Most of the fishing is down in the lower Naknek, where the tide is important and the water is deep. Treble hooks are legal. By late July, they will begin moving into the rapids to prepare for spawning. Single Hook Only.

  • Recommended Tackle: We have a lot of heavy rods and reels – spinning, revolving spool, and fly – that guests can use.

    • If you want to bring some, I would recommend a 7-foot spinning rod with a 30-pound braid for casting, a 9-foot spinning or casting rod with a 30-pound braid for back-trolling, and a 9’ for a 10 or 11 weight for flyfishing. The fly reel should employ a 400 – 600 grain sink tip line.

    • Large streamers in bright colors with lots of action work very well (salmon snakes, rabbit leeches, popsicles, etc.) Plugs are very popular locally, with large Kwikfish being #1, followed closely by Wiggle Warts and Hot-N-Tots in Chart, Fire Tiger, Hot Pink, silver/green and Orange. Large spinners are especially deadly, with blades in sizes 5 – 8 in silver, pink, chart, and orange.

• Sockeye: Chrome sockeye begin their trip from the ocean around June 20th. This migration continues until late July (timing varies, of course, depending on the weather). Until the spawn in mid-August, sockeye will hold in slow pools and side channels. They are usually turning red by early August.

  • Recommended Tackle: A 6-8 weight fly rod in 9’ to 11’ lengths with a Climax Zip Line is by far the best choice. A floating line with either a strike indicator or a few split shots will also work well.

Late Season – August & September

Rainbows on the Naknek:

The best rainbow fishing is close to camp and in the rapids. The rainbows will still take salmon smolt and leeches migrating downstream to the ocean, but by far the biggest food source is salmon eggs. Sockeye eggs are 6mm, silvers and pinks are 8mm and kings are 10mm. Sometimes, oversize imitations work better. I like trout beads mottled beads in orange, dark roe, and pinks in sizes 6mm – 12mm. Don’t forget #8 and #10 short shank hooks and toothpicks (or the clear plastic pegs). For leeches, I like articulated and bunny strip versions without eggs in front in black, olive, purple, and flesh colors. Wool head sculpins also work well. Late in the season, flesh flies might be needed.

• Recommended Tackle: a light spinning rod in the 9 ½ – 11 ½ range, loaded with 4 – 8 pounds mono a 9 ½ to 11 ½ fly rod in the 6 to 8 wt range. I would want to have a 200 or 300-grain sink tip, a WF floating line, and a Climax Zipline (or equivalent shooting line). 2x – 4 x fluorocarbon tippets.
  a center pin rig can be deadly for this fishing.

• Rainbows at Brooks: Brooks is flies only. In early August, rainbows will eagerly take mice, dead drifted small dries, sculpins, and leeches. By mid to late August, the sockeye spawning kicks in, and 6mm – 8mm plastic beads are king.

  • Recommended Tackle: an 8 ½ to 10-foot fly rod for a 5-6 weight line. The WF floater is the most popular choice. I also love the zip line for this fishing. 3x to 5x tippets.

• Margot Creek:
  This is some of the best arctic char/ dolly varden fishing around, along with a decent population of rainbows. The stream is full of sockeye spawning by mid-August., so beads are a great bet here, with or without a fly following behind. All the same, the patterns listed for Brooks work well here as well. If the water is discolored, 10 and 12-mm beads are deadly. The rest of the time, 6mm and 8mm work best.

Pricing is per person based on double occupancy.

The same rules of hunting will apply to these farms as our guided hunts and there will be a guide to check on you daily.

Base Lease prices are for a Bow or Muzzleloader Hunt for up to 4 Hunters. Make it a Gun Hunt additional fee per person.

5 Day DIY Map Hunt

We hunt Merriam's Turkey in Stevens County which has the most turkeys of any county in Washington and one of the highest turkey densities in the U.S. An amazing 74% of all turkeys taken in the state of Washington are taken here in NE Washington. Our guides are Washington’s most successful turkey guides, with more successful turkey hunts to their credit than any other Washington turkey guides — as many as 101 birds in one season.

Hundreds of successful bear hunts confirm that we are one of the most experienced and successful bear hunting outfitters in the business. These are spot and stalk bear hunts using the advantage of natural food sources and our extensive knowledge of bear habits.

Hunt Methods

There's nothing better than calling in a big gobbler. Another reason for our high success rate is that we pattern turkey movements. We get a lot of birds by using blinds at feeding areas and strutting zones. By knowing these areas well our hunters consistently kill birds all season.

One of the most effective bear hunting methods is sitting and glassing mountain berry patches for feeding bear. Sometimes bear are spotted at close range so you can shoot when the bear is first spotted and other times bear are spotted at long distance and hunters try to stalk closer. It really gets exciting when a bear is so close in the brush that you can hear him eating but you have to wait for a clear shot. Bow hunters usually watch game trails or waterholes for close range shots.

If the thought of sitting over a bear bait pile doesn't sound appealing and you want to feel like you really earned your bear, this might be the right hunt, give us a call. This bear hunt is perfect for the bear hunter looking for a truly challenging bear hunt. Once you've hunted bear this way, you will likely want to do it again.

Hunting Areas

Private Ranches and Mountain Areas: We lease properties for guided hunts and we also hunt mountain areas. The guides know game movements on the properties and in the mountain areas. The most successful turkey hunting method is using blinds at feeding and travel areas. The most successful bear hunting method is watching and glassing berry patches, old orchards, or waterholes.

Trophy Quality

Merriam’s have fantastic color that compliments any trophy room. Mature toms weigh 15 to 20 pounds with 7" to 10" beards, and ½ to 1½-inch spurs. The largest we've taken weighed 24 pounds, had 11 1/4" beard and 1 7/8" spurs. Bearded hens are fairly common and may be taken for a mount, beards on hens have measured from 3 to 8 inches.

Bear hides are best in the fall after chilly fall nights cause the fur to thicken. Roughly 50% of bear taken are off color, so there's a reasonable chance of taking a brown, blonde, or cinnamon color phase bear. There is an option to hunt a second bear after you get your first bear. Most bear weigh from 100 to 300 pounds and measure from 5 to 6 1/2 feet. Some of the larger bear have weighed from 300 to 550 pounds and measured 7 feet or more.

Shot Opportunity

Guided hunt shot opportunity is over 300%, success for two birds is usually 150% to 200%, unguided hunters are about half as successful. Shot distances vary from 5 to 40+ yards. Pattern your shotgun on Turkey Targets in advance to determine your maximum effective range.

Shot opportunity on the fall guided bear hunts usually runs 50% to 80% but we've had years with 100% opportunity. Unguided hunters average about half the success of guided hunts. Shooting distances vary from 10 yards to 200+ yards. Sight your rifle dead on at 200 yards. Bow hunters should practice for 10 to 60 yard shots.

Seasons & Best Time: Turkey

Spring is good until about May 20. The entire fall season is excellent.

Youth Season: Open April 7-8 for two bearded turkeys.

Spring General: Open April 15 to May 31 for two bearded turkeys.

Fall Season: Sept 1 to Dec 31 for two either-Sex & two beardless.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR ARKANSAS SELF GUIDED PIT LEASE HUNT

You will meet one of our guides the afternoon before the morning of your hunt at a predetermined location near the hunting grounds. All hunters in your group will be required to sign a release of liability waiver prior to hunting. Your guide will escort you to the hunting pit or drop you a Google Maps pin so you can go out the afternoon before to scout it out.

Decoys will not be provided. We recommend bringing anywhere from 50 to 150 decoys for your spread. You are welcome to leave decoys out overnight in your field however we are not responsible for any equipment or decoys left in the fields overnight.

We also recommend bringing an ATV or side-by-side to get to and from the pits. The pit will be yours only for the # of days you have it leased.

These are 16 foot 6 man pits with either roll-top lids or flip-top lids and a dog box. 6 person max. If you have more than 6 people in your group, contact Mike (the Host) to talk about other options or larger pits for your group.

Fields will be flooded in 3″ up to 15″ of water depending on location. We cannot control weather conditions and at times prolonged subfreezing temperatures will cause the flooded fields to ice over. You are welcome to break ice, run ice eaters or mallard machines to keep a hole open or hunt full body decoys over the ice. We do not offer refunds due to subfreezing weather conditions.

Our pits that we lease kill 400-600 birds on average per year. These are proven killing holes with a lot of success. Depending on crop rotation, the fields will be in flooded rice, beans, milo or millet. We do not allow hunting after 3 PM CDT on any of our farms.

You must request permission before hunting after 3 PM CDT. Many of our farms are roosting holes and will roost anywhere from 5K to 10K birds every evening. We do this to ensure quality shooting throughout the season.

We hunt our fields on a rotation. When you arrive your field will have had at least 3-4 days or more rest. As any knowledgeable duck hunter knows, if you shoot the roost in the evening, the birds that are using your farm will leave and NOT come back! All shooting must end by 3 PM CDT unless prior approval was grated due to unsafe hunting conditions.

You are welcome to bring your retrieving dog and any Motion Decoys you would like. Most of our pits are within a 300-800 yard walk from a gravel road.
