Trip Overview

Hickory Hill Hunts has been guiding spring turkey hunts in Missouri since 2001, with consistently high success rates. Our 3-day self-guided hunts give hunters the freedom to work birds on over 5,000 acres of hardwoods, fields, and prime roosting habitat. With tightly controlled hunting pressure and abundant eastern wild turkeys, hunters can expect a true Midwest spring hunt. Archery turkey hunts are also available for those seeking an added challenge.

Turkey hunts begin on Mondays or Fridays (arrive after 1:00 p.m. the day before). If you’re looking for a well-managed property and the independence of a self-guided hunt, Hickory Hill is the place.
