Upcoming Turkey Season

Frost on the docks yesterday and a thick fog sure fired up the turkeys. Hens and toms could be heard in every direction at first light. Looks like it should be a great spring season as the toms have continued to inhabit some of our favorite hunting grounds.

At this time my son and I are the only hunters scheduled for our 800 acres. The cabins are booked for each weekend of MO turkey season, but there is availability during the week. Typically the fishing is spectacular during turkey season and with the 1:00 PM shutdown on hunting in MO, it makes for a great day in the outdoors. Hunting in the morning and fishing in the afternoon. Throw in some mushrooms and crappie for dinner and I’m not sure it’s legal to ask for more!

Self-guided turkey hunts are $100/day, which includes the on-site lodging. Call soon to reserve a spot as I will be turning over some of this ground to Oak Valley Outfitters if I do not have reservations for hunts.
