Overall, our experience was wonderful.  We enjoyed being members of the Heartland Lodge family.  Terry Abney was a wonderful guide and we enjoyed hunting with him and his dogs.  The overall upland hunting experience is top notch and I can’t think of anything else to make it better.  Hope we can come back again in the …

Loved our first father/son hunt.  Luke is asking to go again already.  I think we will make it a tradition.  Truly a family feel for the lodge.  I would recommend it to anyone in the St. Louis area who would like to experience outdoors/hunting.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay (again).  Your staff is impeccable and like family.  Many thanks to Yankee for all he does for the guest. Many thanks to your incredible chefs, I now fear I will starve to death when I go home.

First Experience at Heartland Lodge and we had an awesome time!  Five of us did a One Day Premium Upland Hunt.  Accommodations, food, service and personnel were second to none.  Hopefully this will be an annual trip for the men in our family!

My first visit to Harpoles Heartland Lodge exceeded my expectations.  Top shelf, first class accommodations and meals.  Roger our guide, his dogs Emma, Quincy and Dot were the best two days in the field I have ever experienced.  Thanks to Wanda and her staff for making us feel at home.

Very good experience turkey hunting for the first time.  Also, always wanted to go on a “guided hunt”.  I am very happy I chose Heartland Lodge for this.  RMC
