- Bob Parker has won several awards from African Hunter of the Year, Best Missouri Whitetail, and numerous Bow Awards with his recurve bow. He has several entries in Safari Club International and also Missouri Big Bucks Club. Bob has taken lot's of big Southern Missouri whitetails over the years and uses his knowledge of an assortment of hunting tactics to help his clients take one one of hardest animals on the planet to hunt, a mature free ranging whitetail buck!
- "Big Whitetails are unlike other deer, they are extremely reclusive and in most cases a Ghost in the woods. It takes a different strategy to hunt them. While I certainly can't guarantee you will take a trophy buck with me I can guarantee I will do everything I can to get you on a nice buck. Many of my hunters have taken the biggest deer of their life with me and that always puts a big smile on everyone's face!" Bob Parker

It's a hunt not grocery shopping !
It's not a big property but there's a bunch of game traffic....i was fortunate to call in a couple bucks and take a shot at one but not get it with my longbow. That's my own fault. For the price I'm more than happy and the lodge is great. Internet not so much. But definitely got my monies worth and then some
That i didn't see any does lol

Lots of deer, great properties to enjoy, cabin is a nice base camp
Opportunities were there, nice stand placements for gun hunters, seen some great bucks, and in a week seen over 40 deer, lots of turkey, and wildlife.
Compound bow hunting could be catered to a bit more, although i was very happy with overall options of stands.

Bob is a class act
Bob really worked hard and tried to help us however he could to make our hunt successful. He knows his land well. It was super early and the birds were hened up and had a big cold front but we stayed with them. My son got a huge bird after we got them patterned. His first Tom. 1-3/8 spurs . Memories that will last a lifetime. Stay with them and be patient. Saw Tons and tons of deer. Man o man was it loaded with deer. Every where we set up we had deer come by us. Every single time.
