I recently hunted in late October 2015. I must say it was everything I expected and more. The staff and guides are top shelf and really took the time to talk to and listen to our needs. My guide Matt “Yankee” Brunet is truly one of the best. The weather did not cooperate with us …

Anticipation!! I booked my hunt with Heartland Lodge in July of 2014 for the last week of October 2015.  I must say I have never had to endure a wait this long or this exciting.  My wife says I’m unbearable to live with.  I have all of my gear packed and ready to go (except …

The experience was absolutely great!! While my son and I didn’t shoot a deer, we had a great time.  We could have shot deer but chose to wait on a trophy. We can’t wait to come back!!

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.

Another great trip.  Roger and I are looking to bring a couple more guys over next year.  Very relaxing trip.  Matt does a great job, treats us more like hunting buddies than clients.  Everything is greatly thought out at your place and I feel very comfortable with the hunt.  Thinking about coming back for a January …

This was our 2nd year to Heartland and it was everything we had hoped for.  Thanks again to our guide Allen.  He is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating in every way.  He is the absolute best guide I have ever used and I will return next year because he is the best.  Thanks also to Matt …

Allen was a good guide and although I did not harvest a deer, his stand placement and choices was perfect.  I saw a number of great deer and deer activity and I will have to come back next year for another chance.
