The High Mountain Hunting Experience                                                


High Mountain Whitetails offers one-on-one fully guided hunts for monster whitetails. High Mountain Whitetails strives to accommodate all hunters in the pursuit of their dream whitetail. When hunting at High Mountain Whitetails, one can plan on seeing 15 to 25 deer each time out hunting. Hunts in late September and early October are best for the big bachelor groups of bucks. Rut hunts are prominent during late October and early November. Late November and December hunts find the bucks feeding hard after the rut. No matter when the hunt, hunters are not simply going deer hunting; at High Mountain Whitetails hunters are hunting for the buck of a lifetime.


High Mountain Whitetails began in 1999, when Russell Cook, founder and owner, bought nearly 1,000 acres in Ridgedale, Missouri and began raising whitetail deer.  Over the next five years, Mr. Cook began to raise some monster bucks; and all the details began to fall in place. In 2004, High Mountain Whitetails made the decision to begin offering hunts. Hunters from across the country harvested several huge whitetail bucks over the next five seasons. With over a dozen 200-inch plus bucks taken from the property, 2009 topped the previous seasons when a giant 252-inch whitetail buck was harvested.


High Mountain Whitetails’ hunts include 3 days and 3 nights lodging and all meals. Hunters typically arrive at High Mountain Whitetails the afternoon before the hunt begins to settle into our bunkroom and discuss plans for the hunt with High Mountain Whitetails’ guides. Hunts take place in heated box blinds overlooking food plots of lush clover.  At High Mountain Whitetails, hunters will see several mature bucks and will hunt until the opportunity to harvest the buck of their dreams is given.

High Mountain Whitetails’ guides scout several days before the hunt, and locate that monster bull.
