Trip Overview

Hickory Hill Hunts has been guiding spring turkey hunts in Missouri since 2001, delivering hunters some of the highest success rates in the state. Our 3-day guided hunts put you side by side with seasoned turkey guides who know the land, the roosts, and the patterns of big eastern gobblers. With access to more than 5,000 acres of hardwoods and fields, you’ll be hunting ground that’s tightly controlled and low pressure, giving you the best chance at a long beard.

Whether you prefer shotgun, archery, or want to try a new challenge, our guides work hard to put you in the right place at the right time.
