2006 Season
After season 2006 - December


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.

Antler-point restrictions in selected counties
In the following counties shown in orange on the map below,
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):
Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Boone, Chariton, Cole, Daviess, DeKalb,
Franklin, Gasconade, Gentry, Grundy,
Harrison, Holt, Howard, Linn, Livingston, Macon, Maries,
Mercer, Miller, Nodaway, Osage, Pulaski, Putnam, Randolph, Schuyler,
Sullivan and Worth.

In counties shown in orange on the map, an antlered deer must have at
least four points on one side to be taken. Each of the following counts
as a point:
- an antler point, if it is at least 1-inch long
- the brow tine, if it is at least 1-inch long
- the end of the main beam
- any broken tine that is at least 1-inch long.
Hunting tips for counties with antler-point restrictions
Bring binoculars and give yourself plenty of time to count antler
points before you take a shot. Wait for a buck that has at least four
points on one side.
