If you enjoy seeing and hunting big bucks, then Whitetail Dreams is where you want to be! We've been managing our herd for over 16 years. Our goal here is to provide the most natural and exciting whitetail hunts for the biggest deer possible. Plan on seeing bucks making scrapes, rubbing trees, chasing does, and if you’re lucky, you may even see a knock down drag out fight between two mature animals.
In the last 7 years we have harvested 1 whitetail over 300, 76 whitetails over 200, and many more from 170-200 inches. Our top 50 bucks average right at the 220 inch mark! We have aslo taken many nice Bulls and Stags with 3 bulls over 500, 31 Bulls over 400 and 10 over 420. We have most of the pictures from the last few seasons posted in our new photo gallery. We hold many SCI records and have won numerous awards for both the the quality of our hunting and the quality of the trophies taken.
The ranch consists of 1060 acres that was high fenced in 1993. The ground is divided up between hardwoods, brushy areas, and open food plots. It is located in Callaway County Missouri which is famous for producing great bucks. We have 12 fully enclosed stands so that we can try to hunt almost every good area and move around so that we only apply light pressure to those smart older bucks. We promote the concept of "high-fence - fair chase" and offer the best in North America!
Along with a great food source and allowing our bucks to reach the age of 4 and beyond, we have a genetic program which is second to none. Each fall we artificially inseminate and naturally breed does to bucks over 300-400 plus inches. These does have 250 plus inch backgrounds several generations back and are the foundation of our genetics. We have a tag and release program on buck fawns every winter to promote great genetics within our herd. Our goal is to grow some of the biggest bucks in the world, and do it in the least amount of time so that we can all enjoy the rewards of hunting those great animals.
I started this ranch out of my love affair with the whitetail deer and huge bull elk. Both Dan and I love to talk about huge bucks and bulls and make new friends who have those same interests. We didn’t start this ranch to see how many hunts we can run through it. We are more interested in providing the best hunt possible to a few repeat customers at a fair price.
I know it won’t take long to fill all the spots we have open for this coming fall and winter. We certainly look forward to seeing you again and hunting with you!
