RutNBuck Outfitters Missouri Whitetail Deer Hunts

Missouri is fast becoming one of North America’s top destinations for trophy whitetail deer hunting. Our hunts in Missouri have produced book deer year after year.

One of the biggest reasons for our success is the strict management of our properties with 130” minimums being the standard for all Missouri hunts. We take groups of 6 to 8 for bow and 6 to 8 for rifle and muzzleloader seasons. This insures personal attention being given in our quest for that trophy animal our clients have paid hard earned dollars for. Getting the tag in Missouri is easy. It can be purchased upon arrival or online. That’s right no draw. It is also the most reasonable tag in the Midwest to purchase. It would be safe to say in the next few years Missouri already in the Top Ten Best States to take a Boone and Crockett will quickly move into the Top Five.

Long hours are spent each year planting food plots, placing stands, clearing shooting lanes and scouting our trophy properties all in anticipation of our clients arrival and a very successful hunt. Our trophy whitetail hunts are not conducted in a high fence and our animals are hunted fair chase. Time in the stand along with proper scent control are the keys to success. This hunt is for the trophy hunters desiring to have an opportunity at a 130” and upwards of 180”. Yes, I said 180”! Over the past five seasons we have taken several bucks gross scoring over 170”. It would be safe to say our hunters should expect an excellent opportunity to take a buck average scoring of 150”.

Not everyone will take a Boone and Crockett buck or may not even see one in a lifetime but if you hunt in the best state and give yourself the best opportunity then you always have a chance. You can’t kill something that is not there. Believe me when I say they are here.

Our Missouri archery hunts are pre rut and rut. During the period of pre rut and rut daytime activity is at an all time high and bucks really respond to rattling and tending grunts. Combined with the use of decoys the bucks that are cruising and cross checking trails in search of does tend to throw all caution to the wind. This allows our clients the best opportunity for a good shot. We anticipate our clients will enjoy upwards of 60% success rate on bucks 130 and above during this time frame provided they take the steps necessary when hunting huge whitetail. We will do everything possible in our power to ensure your success.

All our whitetail hunts are 2x1 per guide basis. All hunts are 5 days in duration. We will hunt stands strategically placed on trails to and from bedding areas and food sources along with proven areas that produce year after year. Several well known hunting personalities choose to make this area in Missouri home and we know why. Trophy Whitetails are everywhere. The Missouri tag is across the counter and is a great option for those choosing to hunt in a state where the trophy potential is growing closer to the elite Top Five States to take a trophy whitetail. If you do not draw the Iowa tag this year Missouri is a great option. Our camps are located directly on the Iowa , Missouri border for some of the best trophy hunting North America has to offer. We only take a select few each season so book your hunt today or call for more information about this hunt.

We also know how important it is for our clients to fill their tags in Missouri. Many would say archery is the most elusive tag to fill. The bucks must move in close within 50 yards to have a decent opportunity to take the trophy. We have taken this into consideration for our archery clients and would like to offer each one that books with us in Missouri or Iowa, that if for some reason do not take a trophy or have the opportunity to get a shot the option to return for late season archery for another shot. Since you have already paid for the initial hunt if you choose to return for another hunt during late season archery we will take you at a reduced rate. This is for our archery clients only. Just another good reason to book with us.

This hunt includes lodging, meals, field transportation, field care, and dressing of your animal. There are several taxidermist we recommend should you choose to have your animal prepared in Missouri or for the trip home. The area also has several butchers who will prepare your animal and ship or pack and freeze for your trip home. There is a small fee if they are backed up to move your animal up on the list to be prepared sooner for your departure should you choose not to ship.

The best airports to fly into are MCI Kansas City Missouri or Des Moines Iowa. With airfare cost rapidly falling now is the time to book your flight. You should rent a car for the trip to our facility but if you require a pickup we have to charge a extra $200.00 fee.

Our first class lodges are located near Leon, Iowa just off Interstate 35 and Exit 12 in Southwest Iowa. Upon booking of this hunt you will be contacted and complete confirmation of deposits along with directions to the lodges and things to bring will be shipped to you along with phone contacts for the lodges and your guide. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business for years to come along with creating relationships and memories to last a lifetime. Until then “Good Hunting and God Bless”.
