Missouri’s Wild Turkey Population Remains Strong

Missouri’s Wild Turkey Population Remains Strong

Missouri is recognized as offering some of the nation’s best turkey hunting. Each year, the state’s turkey harvest ranks among the highest in the country. The improved production of 2011 should result in an increase in the number of 2-year-old gobblers during the 2013 spring season. The hatch of 2012 should continue this trend into 2014. Missouri’s turkey population remains strong, offering hunters a tremendous opportunity to enjoy one of the state’s most cherished natural resources.

Spring Turkey Season Starts April 15!

What do you get when you cross cool weather with deer?

A hunter in the woods with a bow! That's right bow season is here and muzzel loader is right around the corner; White tail deer and wild turkey beware!  But with the deer active even more now that the temperature's dropped that also means drivers need to be careful toward evening/dusk and early mornings, this is the time when deer are on the move the most and also when heavy fog rolls in blinding deer and drivers alike.

To all you hunters out there from all of us here at Homestead Crossing Inc., be careful and happy hunting!
