Turkey hunts
Guided and unguided hunts are available. Turkey season usually begins the second week of April and ends the second week of May. Hunts are priced per day with a 3 day max. Gobblers or bearded hens are legal game. After hunting turkeys you can fish in one of our many ponds for Bass, Crappie, Blue gill, and Catfish. Spring is also a great time to pick up shed antlers and look for morel mushrooms. Some like to use a spring turkey hunt to scout and familiarize themselves with the property for their fall deer hunt.
Fully guided hunts
Stands are already set and ready to hunt. Guides will provide transportation to and from the stand sites. Lodging and meals are included in a fully guided hunt package. Field care and taxidermy prep are taken care of by your guide. While in the field hunting, guides will be scouting, setting trail cameras and hanging stands.
