Red Stag Hunting in Missouri —
America’s Top Destination
From record breaking New Zealand red stag
to giant midwest whitetails and trophy elk, every
hunt with us is backed by premium genetics, smart
management, and a hunting style based on tradition.
The Hunting Grounds
Located in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, The Hunting Grounds offers fully guided Red Stag, Whitetail, and Elk hunting experiences on more than 2,500 acres of professionally managed preserve land. With multiple stags already ranked in the SCI record books—and several poised to take over the top spot—we’re known as one of the top destinations for trophy hunting in America.
Our hunts are one-on-one guided and backed by a No Harvest, No Pay guarantee—if you don’t take a shot, you don’t pay. Whether you’re after a world-class Red Stag, a heavy-racked Midwest whitetail, or a bugling trophy elk, this is where preparation meets opportunity.
After the hunt, relax in our five-star hunting lodge, enjoy home-cooked meals, and unwind at the full bar. The Hunting Grounds delivers the kind of serious, results-driven experience hunters travel for—with the comfort and service that make it worth coming back.

Hunter Reviews
Wow, what a great hunting trip! I still can’t get over how many BIG bucks there are, truly incredible what you all are doing with your breeding and management program. I was very pleased with the 189 inch buck I took, I would have never had an opportunity to take a deer like this in Texas. It was well worth the drive, thanks again for the hospitality.

“My family had a blast!! The people there are so friendly, they make sure you are happy when you leave!!! We will being returning next year for sure!!!!”
Maddie Richardson
“This had to be the most amazing place I have ever been to. The hunt was fantastic, deer everywhere and huge ones at that. But our stay at the guest house was the best over-looking the lake and the little church was awesome. People if you want to go hunting and be around good country folk here’s your place.”
