Deer Hunting

America's HOTSPOT for Outdoor Recreation  

These B+C bucks look great at any angle.  All shot at Trophy Country in recent years.

     Missouri is one of the premier states in production of trophy Whitetails.  The number two Boone and Crocket Typical Whitetail, which scored 205, was killed in Randolph County in 1971.  With a score of 242 5/8, North America's top Pope Young buck was also taken in North Missouri. 

     The world-record, non typical with a score of 333 7/8 was found by a Missouri Department of Conservation employee near St. Louis in 1981.  Each year, Missouri ranks as one of the leading states for trophy-class deer.  Macon County consistently ranks on top or near the top in the success rate of deer taken.  From 1988 through 1993, the Missouri Department of Conservation trapped, collared, and then released 65 Whitetails from Trophy Country.  During this five-year period, these deer and others from surrounding areas were monitored for traffic patterns in one of the most intensive Whitetail studies ever produced.  The results of this study have aided us in management. 

     We limit our number of hunters at any one time.  We have twice the number of elevated shooting towers as hunters. We work hard at developing food plots, and field crops are also planted on the property.  Hunts are semi-guided.
