The first day of spring isn’t when you start thinking about spring turkey hunting, that started at the end of deer season, but it is when the preparations and anticipation kicks into gear. The start of the season and our first group of hunters is just a month away. After last year’s great season it…

It was plenty cold and there was a dusting of snow and sleet at our place but this was a good opportunity to reseed several of our food plots and plant some seed in a few new areas. Clover is one of the best plantings you can have for deer. We have had good luck…

Monday was rainy but Tuesday took it to a whole ‘nother level. We received 5” of rain in a 24 hour period making the hunting conditions much tougher. This didn’t deter our hunters who took advantage of our 4 box blinds, 2 covered tower stands and a few portable stand umbrellas to endure the wet…

We had a great opening day but with a little luck we could have had an exceptional day. Our 9 hunters bagged a 10 point, an 8 point, a doe and a White Oak (I promised not to name names). Everyone saw deer with most seeing shooter bucks. There were several missed opportunities though they…

That was the quote from a gentleman with 30 years of hunting experience after his hunt last Saturday morning and that’s without taking a shot! He saw a total of 17 deer including 1 10 point, 3 8 point, a 4 point and a spike. He described one of the 8s as a ‘monster’. He…

We have never captured this many bucks on our trail cams! We have seen over a dozen shooter bucks at multiple locations across the property. We have captured a few shots of sparring bucks in the past years but this year we have multiple shots in many different sites. It has been difficult to review…

The cooler temperatures have arrived and the trees in the Ozarks have begun to change colors which mean that deer season is upon us. In preparation, we have spent the last several weeks in the woods with our guide, Charlie Connell, scouting for signs and new stand locations. We are seeing many new, fresh scrapes…

Several weeks ago we met with Cory Smith, founder and owner of CS Outdoors LLC, to learn more about his company and the services they could provide to Missouri Hunting & Outdoor Adventures. Through a mutual friend we heard of the good work Cory was doing in consulting on wildlife management, particularly Whitetail deer. We…

Here at Missouri Hunting & Outdoor Adventures we do a great deal of work year round to improve our property, enhance the wildlife habitat and scout for deer and turkey. It seems like there is always something that could or should be done with the hunting operation. I would be lying if I said it…

Missouri Hunting & Outdoor Adventures was pleased to support this year’s Taste of Adventure Great Outdoor Auction and Benefit Banquet. This annual event supports both the Ronald McDonald House and the Southwest Missouri Chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. These are two wonderful organizations that provide support and leadership development to families throughout the region….
