The Hunting Grounds

Located in Missouri's Ozark Mountains, The Hunting Grounds operates 2,500+ acres of professionally managed preserve land dedicated to three things: red stag, whitetail, and elk. Multiple animals in their inventory already rank in SCI record books—several positioned to hit the top spot.

Every hunt comes with a No Harvest, No Pay guarantee. If you don't take a shot, you don't pay. That's the kind of confidence that comes from serious genetics, smart land management, and knowing your game.

Red Stag Hunts - World-class genetics, record-book potential - Stoney Point Lodge - Group rates available

Whitetail Hunts - Heavy-racked midwest bucks - Caufield Lodge - Group rates available

Elk Hunts - Trophy bulls in rut season - Caufield Lodge - 1-4 hunter groups

All hunts are one-on-one guided and customizable for your weapon and method.

"The hunt was fantastic, deer everywhere and huge ones at that. But our stay at the guest house was the best overlooking the lake." — David Johnson

This isn't a basic outfitting operation. The experience runs through five-star lodges with chef-prepared meals, full bars, and amenities built for serious hunters and corporate groups alike. High-speed internet is available if you need it—or you can unplug completely and let the hunt take over.

Their guides work across all skill levels, from first-time hunters to seasoned trophy chasers. No pressure. Just results-driven hunting done right.

The booking process is straightforward: secure deposit locks your dates, they handle logistics (driving or flying), and you show up ready to hunt. After the prep work, the rest is what you came for.
