This is truly a hunters paradise. We have several hotels 10 minutes away, several restaurants and fast food places and are located just 3 miles off of a major interstate. We do encourage you to take a look at our Maps & Directions page for driving directions. You will notice that there are areas outlined in red. Those areas are our designated acres for our Gamebird Preserve and the actually Whitetail Deer and wild Turkey hunting areas are in another location close by.
This is a great place to hunt for beginners and experts alike so give us a try. As we do have many hunting parties on our hunting area throughout the year we will need to know in advance when your hunting party wishes to come to make sure we will have room for you on that day. Thanks.
You can contact us through e-mail at Harding Gamebirds or give us a call, we will be happy to answer any questions or comments.Hunters, are responsible for understanding the regulations before venturing a field. Only bucks that have at least four antler points on one side of their rack may be taken during the archery and firearms deer hunting seasons (except the youth portion).
