Deer Hunts with Honey Creek Outfitters
Archery and Muzzleloader deer hunts at Honey Creek Outfitters.
The Land & Terrain: We have over 5,000 acres of upland hardwoods and creek bottoms for your hunting adventure, with 3,000 acres in corn and soybeans. There are also approximately 1000 acres of C.R.P. land mixed between crops and timber, making an excellent recipe for mature bucks. All acres are on private property. No public hunting grounds.
Stands/Blinds: Tree stands and tower blinds are set up and ready to go when you arrive. However, if you have a stand that you are extremely comfortable with and want to bring with you, you may do so. Stands are set up on several funnels and bottlenecks connecting bedding areas with food sources and also along crop field edges.
Photos & Past Hunters: Each season we update our galleries with our successful customers. Check out our updated photo galleries:
Fair Chase: All hunts are 100% fair chase with absolutely no high fences. This is real hunting.
**NEW FOR 2019!!!! WE WILL BE "ARCHERY ONLY" STARTING FALL 2019!! THE NOVEMBER RIFLE SEASON WILL BE ARCHERY ONLY ON OUR PROPERTIES! You will still have to purchase a Missouri firearms permit and wear blaze orange but firearms will NOT BE PERMITTED. However, we will still hunt the late December Muzzleloader season with muzzleloaders!
The Missouri archery tag will not work for the Late December muzzleloader season!
We are trying to take our hunts to the next level as far as the maturity of animals harvested and rack score. An ideal buck harvested will be in the 5.5 - 8 years of age range. This will improve the quality of animals harvested in the years to come!! It's not rocket science------If you want large, mature bucks then you have to let them grow to reach their full potential. We thank you for your understanding AND support! We've had nothing but excellent, positive feedback and we thank you! We are excited about our future and the quality of hunts to come!
**UPDATE for 2019 deer seasons: The minimum score requirement for any buck harvested is 135". Any buck harvested that has a gross measurement less than 135" will incur a $500 fine due immediately.
Crossbows are allowed as a legal method during archery deer and turkey seasons.
