SUCKED
THE FOOD WAS GOOD AND DAN'S LODGE WAS NICE BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKED. ALL DAVE THE OWNER IS DOING IS RUNNING 130 HUNTERS THREW THERE IN A MONTH. JUST WAY TO MANY HUNTERS IN CAMP. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE THE FIRST HUNTERS BUT HE FORGOT TO TELL US THERE WAS GOING TO BE 24 HUNTER IN CAMP. WOULD NOT RECOMMENT THIS OUTFITTER

Great Outfitter
Northwest Missouri Outfitters.. Owner: David Frampton Guides: Dan, John, Nate, Kevin I highly recommend NW Missouri Outfitters to any hunter looking for a great Whitetail Hunting experience. I have been lucky enough to hunt with David and his crew on 5 occasions now. All of which have not been successful in regards to tagging a deer, but they have all been very successful in regards to opportunities and the potential of tagging a Monster Whitetail, and if you are a true hunter, you understand that NOT every trip is a guaranteed tagging experience. David Frampton and his "Crew" have great knowledge of the deer on their farms. Not only do they work extremely hard during the off season to better their farms, but they work just as hard during the season to put all of there hunters on good deer. I was lucky enough to put my tag on a 160"-10 pt during the 2012 bow rut hunt, on the second morning of my hunt. Due to tagging so early in my 5 day hunt, I got to spend the next 3 days experiencing what David Frampton and his crew do after they drop off their hunters in stands. I was amazed to see how hard the guides worked for their hunters. After dropping off the hunters, we would spend a couple hours glassing and scouting areas that no one was hunting, then we would either go check a few stands or we would go hang a few new stands. Then a couple hours before dark we would once again go glass and scout. The guys at NW Missouri were always looking for some way of bettering the hunt for all of their hunters. I would like like to thank David Frampton and all the guys at NW Missouri Outfitters for all their hard work. I have already booked my hunt for 2013!!! Once again, I would highly recommend Northwest Missouri Outfitters for a great Whitetail hunting experience. David Laux Michigan

Good Afordable Hunt
I am a licensed trapper for a living and work hard for my money. Food, lodging and guides were great. I harvested a 140" buck and numerous other bucks of that size or better were taken that opening week. It was worth the money & I will return. The owner Dave & his guides new where the good spots were & if you put your time in and know your deer you will come away with a great hunt.

the best place to whitetail deer hunt
I have hunted here for the last three years and I have the time of my life all three years.all three trips I have seen over a hundred deer each year.I did not realize whitetail bucks could ever grow this large.the racks are just unbelievable.The staff treat you like family.the guides and the owner are truly wonderful people.the lodge is great. The food is out of this world.They could diffently teach my wife a thing or too.Can not wait till next year.I have already booked for next year and decide to bring my two sons and father in law with me next year.This will be a trip we can remember for the rest of our lives.And we will make it a yearly family tradition here each year.

Love this Place
My friend and I decided to go on a semi- guided hunt and found NWMO. We could not have been more pleased. The guys were professional and accommodating. I saw 'shooter' bucks every day of my hunt and took home a great 12 point. I would recommend NWMO to anyone looking for a hunt with great people, good food, nice lodge and AWESOME deer!

Highly Recommend!
I have been bow hunting now for 26 years and I have had the opportunity to hunt some of the most recognized trophy areas in the country and Canada. When possible I prefer to hunt a private property where I can do my scouting and strategizing as it is part of the challenge of harvesting a trophy buck. Though I have been fortunate to hunt many private lands there have been areas that I have wanted to hunt and the only way to do so was to pay for a guided hunt. This past late season after shooting two mature quality bucks in my home state of Illinois, I didn

To good to be true is what I was thinking as we drove 14 hrs to Northwest Missouri Outfitters. If you cross their website and are thinking of trying it out I am suggesting you turn the other way. The lack of deer and shooter bucks were the side line to a terrible hunt. Out of the 17 guys that were hunting, 1 shooter buck, and 1 barely 120 (which is minimal) were taken. Out of a group of eight we never seen a 130 inch buck which Dave and his guys say "run" the place and they were saying to hold out for a 150. In fairness 1 guy with us wounded a 125 class due to poor stand placement and brush. The guides were terrible some of them would go back to camp to sleep and play (not even attemping to glass other areas for shooters) while another would drop off his hunters and then go hunting himself. (obviously giving himself the best spot) All guides had a lack of knowledge to the land and where the stands were even hung. They were very disrespectful to us hunters, talking behind our backs. In the hunt it said that two meals were included...breakfast consisted of cold cereal (not what I consider breakfast when you are heading out to sit by a tree for 11 hours.) The only good thing I have to say about this place is the dinner cook. Her dinners were excellent! The lodge was also nice. It is a close operation but due to lack of management and over hunting the properties this is a last class hunting lodge. Between the 8 guys in our group we left that place with NO BUCKS and Dave Frampton and his crew have $14,400.00 in there pockets. On our ride home we came to the conclusion that the only thing these guys are good at is lieing. We have never been lied to so much in one week. This hunt was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. So, make sure when you are browsing hunts to shoot a buck DO NOT be fooled by Northwest Missouri Outfitters "fancy" website. This place is a rip off.

Reviewer Comments: I HAVE HUNTED WITH MANY DIFFERENT OUTFITTERS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE US AND CANADA. I AM A WHITETAIL ENTHUSIAST AND DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE, IT IS VERY EASY FOR ME TO DETERMINE A QUALITY OUTFITTER/HUNT, VERSE A PERSON WHO BOOKS HUNTS TO SIMPLY PAY HIS/HER BILLS. WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THROUGH HUNTING WITH DAVE IS AS FOLLOWS: HE IS 100% HONEST AND TRUELY WANTS EVERY HUNTER TO GET THE BUCK OF THEIR DREAMS, HE WILL ONLY LEASE GROUND THAT HE SCOUTS PRIOR TO SIGNING,HENCE MAKING CERTAIN IT HAS QUALITY DEER LIVING ON IT, HE HAS MANY TRAIL CAMERAS OUT ALL SEASON AND WILL SEND CURRENT PHOTOS TO ALL BOOKED HUNTERS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER/FALL, HE PUTS IN MANY FOOD PLOTS ON ALL OF HIS GROUND TO ENSURE THE DEER STAY THERE, HE PLACES STANDS (LADDER,GROUND BLINDS, OR BOX STANDS, FOR ALL OF HIS HUNTERS-EVEN SEMI-GUIDED,HE DOES NOT OVER-BOOK HIS HUNTS AND HIS RESULTS WILL DEPICT THAT FACT, I HAVE HUNTED WITH DAVE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, AND LET ME DESCRIBE HOW THE HUNTS WERE INCLUDING RESULTS. THE FIRST YEAR 4 OF US WENT OUT AND WE KILLED ONE BIG 8 PTR. I PERSONALLY SAW APPROX. 12 BUCK DURING THE WEEK. THE OTHER 2 GUYS WITH US BOTH SAW SHOOTERS (1 PROBABLE BOONER) AND COULD NOT GET SHOTS. TRIP 2 (2007)- 6 OF US WENT OUT AND 5 WENT HOME WITH VERY NICE DEER: (2 10PTRS, 1 11 PTR., AND 2 8PTRS.)I KILLED ONE OF THE 10'S,BUT PASSED A 9 THE DAY PRIOR AND SAW A MONSTER 2 DAYS PRIOR,COULDN'T GET A SHOT. TRIP 3 (2008)- 7 OF US WENT OUT AND 3 WENT HOME WITH VERY BIG DEER, 2-12 PTRS. AND 1 8 PTR. ALL THE OTHER GUYS HAD GREAT HUNTS ALSO: ONE GUY HIT A MONSTEROUS 10 PTR. AND NEVER FOUND IT, ANOTHER GUY MISSED A VERY BIG BUCK, ANOTHER GUY PASSED UP 2 10PTRS. AND SAW ONE EVEN BIGGER BUT COULDN'T GET A SHOT AT IT, AND THE FINAL GUY IN OUR GROUP NEVER PULLED THE TRIGGER, BUT IN 5 DAYS HE PASSED UP 27 BUCKS(1 OF THEM HAD A 20 INCH SPREAD BUT ALL OF HIS TINES WERE BROKEN FROM FIGHTING). IN CLOSING, FOR ANYONE WHO IS SKEPTICAL SIMPLY LOOK AT DAVES' RESULTS. THIS IS A 100% FAIR CHASE HUNT-NOT HIGH FENCE SHOOT! SO IF YOU WANT GUARANTEES,GO TO A PRESERVE-IF YOU WANT A GREAT,HONEST,FAIR PRICED HUNT WHERE THE POSSIBILITY OF A TRUE BOONER EXISTS, I SUGGEST YOU BOOK WITH DAVE.

New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
Quebec Hunting Information
Quebec is probably best know as an excellent caribou hunting destination. Hunters from across the globe travel to Quebec to hunt their big Quebec-Labrador caribou migration. In addition to caribou hunting, Quebec offers black bears, Canada moose and whitetails.
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
