Since we are located in the heart of the Midwest in Northwest Missouri, we have some of the best Whitetail Missouri Deer Hunting and wild Missouri Turkey Hunting available.
We have hardwood timber consisting of mature hickory, oak and walnut trees for Missouri Turkey to roost in and Missouri Deer Whitetails to roam through. On our hunting acres we also have open crop fields of corn and soybeans, CRP fields, pastures and hay ground with some draws, and combinations of the above. We have food plots set out that the Whitetail Deer and our wild Turkeys run in every day. Whitetail Missouri Deer and wild Missouri Turkey can be seen daily on our land which is solely reserved for our hunters.
With over 2,300 acres to hunt on we can offer a wider variety of hunts than anyone else! On top of that, we offer some of the lowest prices anywhere around for Missouri Deer Hunting and wild Missouri Turkey Hunting. We pride ourselves on our level of service, quality Whitetail Deer and wild Turkey, competitive prices and memorable hunts. Our hunts will make you want to come back again and again.

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.
