Welcome to Old River Outfitters

If you like small group hunting with little pressure, we have just the place for you. Old River Outfitters is a family owned and operated hunting provider in Southeastern Iowa, just north of the Missouri border. We are based out of Appanoose county. This region of Iowa is becoming well known for trophy whitetail deer and the abundance of wild turkeys. Our home farm is 350 acres of rolling hardwood timber, wetlands, river bottom timber, a pine grove, two ponds, food plots, ridges and deep wooded ravines. We have hunted this area for years and are extremely familiar with all aspects of the farm we hunt.

All of our land is managed for quality trophy whitetails and large flocks of turkeys. We take pride in maintaining a quality herd of whitetails and turkeys. To help us do this, we have food plots of high protein clover, soy beans, turnips, winter wheat, oats, as well as a large crop of acorns from our oak filled timber.

We offer turkey hunting in the spring and deer hunting in the fall and winter. The spring turkey season is gun and/or bow. It opens in April and has four different seasons that run until the middle of May.

We offer a variety of opportunities for deer hunting. Bow hunting opens October 1st, and there is an early muzzleloader season which runs for nine days in October. The muzzleloader season offers a great chance to harvest a quality early season buck with a firearm. Bow hunting runs until the first Saturday of December, then the shotgun season opens. It lasts for two weeks and is split into a five day and nine day season. Bow season then opens again, as well as a late muzzleloader season. Both of these last until January 10th. Some years, depending on the population, there is also a special doe only season in mid January.

We are not the biggest outfitter around, but the land we hunt is excellent for producing trophy whitetails and turkeys and because the other landowners in the area also practice Quality Deer Management, we have been able to grow and maintain a quality herd of whitetail deer. Because we do practice Quality Deer Management, we thoroughly encourage our hunters to take a mature doe as well as a trophy buck. We feel that maintaining the right ratio of bucks to does is as important as anything else we do to grow trophy whitetails
