All hunts are semi guided and include 5 days of hunting with lodging . Once on site you will meet with Mark Locke or his assistants, sign release of waiver forms, Buckzilla rules and regulations form, be given a pin of property or properties you will be hunting and a map with stand locations and property line. You will check in and check out with a representative. Hunters are limited to a certain property while visiting due to a rotation process that ensures each hunter is hunting a fresh property. Please keep in mind all hunts are fair chase and we can not control the acts of god which include fires, floods, snow storms, winds, temps ect. We do require bucks to be at least 130 inches or bigger with archery equipment and 130 inches or bigger with firearms. Any violations of the minimum antler restrictions the client could be fined one thousand dollars. The outfitter believes in responsible game management and therefor discourages hunting young trophy game. The harvest of a jake or non-bearded turkey will result in a $500 hundred dollar surcharge. The harvest of a fawn whitetail will be a $500 surcharge. If harvested on the last day price doubles. Children under the age of 16 will not be required to go by the antler restriction rules. They will be allowed to harvest and deer of choice.

I was born and raised in the state of Florida. From the time i was a young boy i was infected with the hunting bug. At the age of 8 years old i was in the woods hunting everything from quail, squirrels, wild hogs , turkey and whitetail deer. It didnt take long to find out i had an obsession with the whitetail deer, while everyone else had dreams of growing up and playing pro football or baseball i had the dream of being in the midwest hunting giant whitetails. I harvested my first buck at 8 years old a 120 inch 8 point. From that day forward i was hooked. As i grew into a young man nothing had changed. I read every magazine and book i could find on how to hunt and become a great whitetail hunter. As soon as i was able to drive i started traveling and hunting all over the south east. As time went by and years started to pass i started taking trips to the mid west. The obsession grew hotter every year to relocate where the giant whitetail called home. I eventually met my wife in Florida and she to had the desire to relocate. She loved the seasonal changes. In Florida youve got two seasons hot and hotter. We eventually had 3 beautiful children two boys and a girl. After few years we made the big move. We moved to the state of Missouri. As time passed i would get tons of hunting in and harvest my share of big whitetails. As time went by i started taking family and friends hunting. One thing i started to notice was that i was enjoying watching others harvest deer and the smiles i seen on folks faces was unforgettable. As time went by i started offering opportunities for others to harvest whitetails , because it helped me pay for my leases. One thing i noticed was that it was still very gratifying watching complete strangers harvest nice deer even though they were complete strangers. As time went on i made lots of new friends and i noticed more and more guys were wanting to come back hunting. One morning i woke up and thought i needed a change in careers. I had been in the same industry for years and finally decided to do what i love and that was to start a small outdoor hunting operation providing opportunities for others to have a chance to harvest whitetails. Thats when Buckzilla outfitting was born. Im currently 45 years old and have spent 37 years pursuing whitetail deer and turkeys. Im still married to the same great gal who pushed me to pursue my dreams. If youd like to come to Missouri to hunt whitetail deer or turkeys we would love to have you.
