Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Missouri the premier destination for trophy whitetail hunting land buyers?
Missouri consistently produces Boone and Crockett whitetail deer at rates comparable to Iowa and Illinois, and at land prices 20 to 40 percent below those neighboring states. Unlike states with strict lottery draws, Missouri offers over-the-counter non-resident tags, making it highly accessible.
The northeast Missouri counties of Clark, Lewis, Marion and Ralls along the Mississippi River bluff system have the most concentrated record-book buck production from mineral-rich agricultural soils and river timber bedding cover.
Properties with hardwood creek bottoms, river bluff terrain and adjacent crop fields create predictable deer funnels at stand locations. Missouri’s deer hunting land remains one of the strongest-performing rural land investment stories in the Midwest, combining hunting enjoyment with consistent property appreciation.
What hunting does Arkansas land offer and what makes it distinct from neighboring states?
Arkansas sits at the intersection of the Ozark and Ouachita mountains in the north and east with the Mississippi Delta bottomland in the west, creating a hunting land diversity unlike any neighboring state.
The Grand Prairie and White River bottomlands produce outstanding duck hunting from flooded timber and rice fields, making certain Arkansas properties among the most valuable duck hunting real estate in the Mississippi Flyway. The Ozark hill counties produce solid whitetail deer on a combination of hardwood mast and agricultural edge habitat.
Arkansas has one of the most generous combined deer seasons in the South running from late September through February. Wild turkey hunting is strong statewide with the Ozark and Ouachita regions providing the best habitat.

Arkansas Delta duck hunting properties with managed impoundments run $2,500 to $5,500 per acre. Arkansas Ozark and Ouachita deer hunting runs $1,000 to $2,200 per acre.
