The property is managed to provide an abundance of deer and wild turkeys for hunters to observe, pursue, and harvest.  World class trophy bucks and long-spurred, old gobblers are highly prized, therefore the harvesting of certain non-trophy bucks, certain classes of male turkeys in the spring and fall, and bearded hen turkeys is not desirable.

However, MissouriPrimeHunts.com does realize that field judging the quality, measurement, and age of some individual animals is often difficult.   Therefore, the following harvest rules have been established, along with “Extra Fees” if you happen to harvest a protected deer or turkey.  Any “Extra Fees” due are payable prior to your departure.
