Heartland Lodge is the best!  Food, people, and guide were the greatest! Chris is the best guide I ever had, he knows his stuff on whitetails. "Awesome Place"

Note: David and his son both took whitetails and created a memory that will last a lifetime!

One of the most fantastic hunting experiences I've ever had. This trip was a gift from my son, John, for Father's Day which made this an exceptional time for me as a Dad. Thanks to everyone at Harpole's for 1st class service all day, every day!

Hunting is Hunting...I don't ever expect to see deer, it is just a bonus. However, this week I had deer all around me on every sit, simply awesome. My guide was very knowledgeable of his farm and had excellent stand setups. He took the time to explain the set ups and look over the farm map with myself and his other hunter. He did an excellent job processing and cleaning the animals after the kill. All around good hunt. Great farm and great guide. I'll have this buck on my wall for a lifetime. A true trophy. Thanks!

Mine and my father's experience at Heartland was fantastic. Everything from the lodging and staff to the guides and the hunts was great! We look forward to returning in 2012. Keep up the great work!!

Just got back from a five day whitetail hunt. I cannot say enough about heartland lodge. The staff and guides were fantastic. Our guide Matt did everything in his power to make our hunt a success. My son bagged his biggest buck to date and I saw some huge bucks. Overall I had a blast. Book with Heartland and you will not regret it. The only bad thing is I now have to go on a diet because of all the unbelievable meals they make.

“This was amazing! What a great set up, the best that I have been to! Amazing people you have here working for you, along with the most amazing food! I hope to get the chance to come back, even though I didn’t harvest a whitetail this time.  It’s not always about the kill it’s what you take away from the hunt and the lifelong friends you make.  Thanks for the opportunity you gave me. This was a lifelong hunt that I will never forget. Thank you all so much! I Love this place!” Amy McCalister

I did a lot of research before selecting Heartland for our group. I thought it was very good, especially under the windy conditions we had.

I can't even put into words what a wonderful experience this has been.

Very much enjoyed our stay and feel like family. All staff are excellent and overall a great experience. We are attempting to recruit other family members and friends to come and experience the hospitality.

Everyone was wonderful as usual! Staff is unbelievable, rooms comfy, food is excellent. We love coming here! Love talking with the guests.

I felt like coming home to my Grandma's farm who passed away when I was 8. I loved going there as a kid and this has the same beautiful look and warm heart feel as when I was a kid ~ Thank you for providing that.

I had a wonderful experience. I had never been to anything like this before. I really enjoyed it and hope to able to do it again. The people we met were also really nice. Thank you for the great experience!

Another great hunt. Comfortable lodge and beds, friendly staff, good food. Chris was a great guide who knows his ground well and put us in the right places. Great atmosphere in the lodge too.

55

Kris is 100% professional, and his guiding was the highlight of my trip. He knows deer, knows his farm and really knows how to treat a client. When I return, I will only want Kris as my guide and if not available I will wait to book again. He is that good.

I truely enjoyed the lodge, the meals, the people and the hunt. I did not get a shot at a legal buck, but every expectation of my trip were met. I will be back!

55

As usual, everything was great at Heartland!

55

Weather was Hot but had a great time - killed a 9 point last day, so it was great. Everyone was great on your your staff!

55

This is my 3rd trip and loved it!!! We will come back a 4th time for sure!!!

55

I have never had a better hunting experience than I did this season at Heartland Lodge!

55

This is my 5th visit to Heartland and my 3rd hunt with Kris. This hunt was by far the best. The time of year was perfect (Late October) I saw shooter bucks everyday except on my last day. I tagged out for the first time. Kris knows his farm and knows where would be the best stand for that big buck.

55

My experience here was great! Depsite the weather conditions the hunt was still great! The guides here do a great job at giving you the best opportunity to harvest a big buck.

55

This is the best hunt a person could ever go on. The rooms are great, the food is great, and the guides are the best in the business.

55

Everything was beyond expectations. The meals were AMAZING as was the dinner staff. Casey is top notch when it comes to knowledge of whitetail and being a guide. Always great to be greeted by Ms. Wanda awesome job with everything.

55

Great place, Great hunt, Cant wait to come back !!! Casey was a great guide with the knowledge to put us on GIANTS. Meals couldn't have been any better, can't wait till next time.

55

These hunts are basically care free for the hunter which is great for a quick get away. Great food, Great people, and beautiful country. You never know when the big boy might step out.
