This is the second trip to Heartland Lodge for a great experience once again.  We did the upland hunt last year and a combo hunt during this stay.  Great lodge, staff, and guests.  Guides are second to none and show my son the love of hunting which he can’t get enough of. We will be …

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.

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.

As an experienced world traveler who commonly stays at 5-Star resorts, I have not seen the quality of service at the afore-mentioned resorts that I have witnessed here.  With respect to the Upland Hunt, it is second to none.  Guides, dogs, hospitality and most importantly patience prevails.  I can’t wait to bring family and friends.

Meals and rooms were great.  Guides loved their jobs and did a great job.  Dogs for Upland were trained very well.  Lots of fun and will be back in the future.  Thanks Wanda and Gary!!!!

You guys run a top notch operation. The food, guides – personal ARE second to none!. The dogs are the best I have hunted with. When you can joke and cut up with your guide it makes for a fun experience, one that I will never forget. I had the time of my life and …
