The large whitetail deer population on the ranch has been under strict management practices for nearly 30 years. It has produced many Boone and Crockett whitetails harvested, with a handful reaching over the magical 200-inch mark. Dozens of box blinds are already in prime locations and hunt-ready. Springtime in the Missouri woods can be summed up with gobbling turkeys and morel mushrooms. Despite the declining Turkey numbers across the Midwest, Trophy Country’s management program has made this acreage an exception to that trend. It is currently home to a booming population of Eastern Wild Turkeys. The fertile ground is also the perfect habitat for morel mushrooms in large quantities! With several hundred acres of levy-controlled wetlands, the East and Northwest portions of the ranch offer some of the finest duck habitat possible. Tens of thousands of ducks and geese make use of this incredible habitat every year.
