Archery Hunter Feedback
Dear Tombstone Creek Outfitters: Once again you have out done yourself. The hunting lodge was great, and your hunting properties were well laid out, and the deer hunting was awesome! We had a great time both hunting, and while in camp with the other hunters. What a great group of people. The nice thing about your operation is that we didn't ever see another hunter in the field the entire time we were their. It was almost like it was our own private hunting grounds. You provided us with so many good tree stand options as starting points it gave us so many options! Once again, your place is awesome! Diane and I had a great time, and it was fun to have another successful year with you guys. Thanks so much! Darik and Diane Bollig - Newbury, Indiana We had an AWESOME hunt with Tombstone Creek Outfitters. They have some great hunting properties and excellent accomodations.
Everybody was very friendly and fun to be with, just like hunting with your buddies back home!
Thanks again,
Jimmy Primos - Jackson, Mississippi Paul, Again we had a great time at Tombstone Creek Outfitters !! We did hit it on the week of the terrible winter storm that blew in and paralized the mid west ! still we saw dear movement, it was tuff hunting but we tried! 5-13 below zero some mornings and 25-35 mph winds. We made the best of it! we still saw deer ! great hospitality a warm camp and great stories made it fun none the less! We cant wait till nov. 2010 to hunt with you guys again! Paul, Dan, Jim get ready for the return of the New York boys ! you arent getting rid of us! Thank you again for all the hard work! H&H OUTDOORS Mark Hitcome, Brian Hitcome - New York For the last 17 years I have been a Turkey, Bow Fishing & Paddlefish Guide and Outfitter in Nebraska. I thought I had a great set up until I went on a hunt with Tombstone Creek Outfitters. No doubt about it they are the best. Paul is so organize and very detailed. I picked up some great ideals that I can apply to my own outfitting business. I was fortunate to hunt the opener. It was warm and humid but despite the conditions, within the first couple days of the season Tim shot a 193" monster with Casey Blum shooting a huge 166" whitetail and John Millican having a 140+ inch right under his stand.Paul can put me in his worst stand and it would still be way better then any place I have in Nebraska. On this hunt I was able to shoot my first Eastern turkey from a tree stand. It was a great hunt and I am looking forward to coming back. Thank you Paul for going that extra mile! Marlyn Wiebelhaus Guiding - Wynot, NE Paul, I wanted to thank you again for the awesome hunt with Tombstone Creek Outfitters. As I mentioned to you before, you have developed an outstanding opportunity for hunters to have a chance at a high quality whitetail buck. The accommodations at Tombstone Creek are top notch. I appreciate how you made it a point to work for the hunters by setting up new stand sites during the hunt. The stand sites have been well planned out, food plots are well designed and in locations to draw in the big boys. You guys are top notch whitetail hunters & fabulous people, you made the trip to Missouri a most memorable one. Even though I was not fortunate to take a buck, I did see 3 P&Y bucks, got to see two P&Y archery kills, laid my hands on Casey's giant, and had two very close calls, along with an experience that I will never forget. The camaraderie of the camp and the hunters made the hunt fly by and felt like we had all been friends for years. I did not have the luck needed to arrow one of these bucks, but came home with great memories, and the hope of heading back sometime in the near future to test my skills and luck against that of a big buck. John Millican - Arizona Sept 2009 Paul, Your hunt was the most fun I have had on an out of state hunt. The guys were fun to be around and you have a great set-up….That area is a great spot for sure! I would of re-booked this year if I hadn’t decided to cash in my Iowa points. Thanks, Jason Ziegler - Frazee, MN
Paul, Dan, & Jim, I want to thank you guys for an awesome hunt this 2008 seaon! I can’t believe how many of us killed great deer this year! I have re-booked for next year. Joe Penard - Amery, WI Update 2009: Joe Killed another buck, this makes him 2 for 2 on his trips to MO! TCOutfitters. Paul, Thanks for a great hunt and for running a great operation. I have re-booked for next season and cant wait to get back to Northern Missouri. Thanks for thinking of me, and fitting me into your next season. Maurizio Sqroi, New York My wife and I hunted with Tombstone Creek Outfitters during the 2009 season. I cannot say enough great stuff about the place. I am lucky to have a great wife who let me make 2 trips to Missouri, and she was able to come with for the late season hunt. She still talks about the great time she had not only hunting but back at the camp with the stories, thanks Paul and Eric.
Tombstone Creek has a great variety of hunting properties to choose from so during our hunt we could either sit in the same stand every day, or go somewhere different as the hunting conditions changed. Overall, it's a great hunting experience and we have already re-booked for 2010 and will be bringing my 2 brothers and father with, and of course my wife.
Can't wait for the upcoming season!
Thanks Paul and Tombstone Creek
Dacia and Josh Kilanowski - Taylors Falls, MN Guys, I am in on the April 20th Turkey hunt this spring. I am so happy with the deer I killed last November. How lucky was I totake a P&Y class deer on my first day! Thanks so much guys, Tombstone Creek. Your awesome. Steve Warren Update 2009: Steve Killed a buck again this season that is a ligit hog! He seen 22 buck from stand on his 5 day hunt, 3 were shooters! It is obviously not very common to see numbers like this as Steve had the hunt of a life time! Check out the photo's, you will see what we mean by saying he took a hog! TCOutfitters. During the 2008 Archery Deer Season we participated in a hunt with Tombstone Creek Outfitters. We hunted in early November and the deer seemed to be at the peak of their rutting activity. We hunted every day for a week and saw a good number of deer. The size and the quality of the bucks were tremendous. We think the 8 point rule that the state of Missouri has enacted produces numerous deer that are over 130 inches. We both had a chances at bucks in the 150 range. One of us harvested an 8-point buck that scored around 120. We stayed in a house with 4 other people, brought our own food and took turns cooking each night. After supper each night we sat around the TV and talked hunting. The accommodations were nice and the staff was courteous and very knowledgeable in deer hunting tactics. They are willing to do what ever it takes to assist you in harvesting a deer. We have re-booked a hunt for 2009 and look forward to continue hunting with Tombstone Creek. If you have any questions about the hunt please feel free to e-mail either one us. Mike Wellens - Hudson, WI mkwellens@yahoo.com Ron Bonte - Hammond, WI ronbonte@yahoo.com We had another awesome hunt in 2009, what a great bunch of guys! I killed a great buck and we have already re- booked for next season in 2010. What a great hunt, we cant wait to come back. Mike Wellens Hudson, WI I am an avid bowhunter who has hunted many states for whitetail deer over the years. Last November I hunted with Tombstone Creek Outfitters in Northern Missouri. Their operation is set up perfectly for hunters of all types. There was obviously a lot of thought put into the way their operation is run from day number one. I enjoyed every minute that I spent in the “Show me state” last fall! I can honestly say that during this time I saw more big mature whitetail bucks, than I have seen in the previous 10 years of hunting combined. I have always said, that "you never get a season back" so I can guarantee you that I will be back next year! I can’t wait to head down to Missouri, spend a little time with Mother Nature, and try my hand at taking one of those trophy bucks again next season! Sincerely, Dan Nagel - Hudson, WI Uddate 2009 Season: Dan had several opportunies this season, and killed a nice buck on the last day of his hunt! Way to go Dan, he will be back for years to come!! TCOutfitters Hey Paul, Our stay at Tombstone Creek Outfitting was a whole new experiance for my son and myself. The house we stayed in had all the comforts of home,we had everything we needed. The hunting terrain was unlike anything we had ever hunted,with the ridges and valleys and more open type woods with the different types of hardwoods. We hunted at the tail end of the rut. While I personnelly did not see any big bucks my son and two other friends saw and had chances at some really nice shooter bucks. My son was able to get an arrow in a great 140 inch ten point buck and with alot of looking and ground work from PK this buck will be hanging on Andy's wall in a short time. I can't say enough about the way we were treated at Tombstone Creek Outfitters, like we had been friends for a long time. It was an expierance I hope to repeat for many years to come. Tom Schmitz - Perham, MN Dan, Paul, & Jim, Thanks for the quality hunt in Missouri this 2008 season. I wish I had just a bit more luck and could have gotten a shot at that huge 10 point. I can’t wait to come back and hunt with you again next season. Your operation is set up so nicely, and you have great quality deer. Casey Blum - Sauk City, WI Update 2009 season: I guess this time things worked out a bit better? I killed one of my biggest deers ever on my second season hunting with Tombstone Creek Outfitters! I promise to be back next season!! Thanks guys! Casey Blum. Check out our home page and photo album to see Casey's 166 SCI early season buck! TCO Paul, Thanks for a great time! We are rebooking for next year. Jim Harrison - White Bear Lake, MN Paul, Well, maybe I should have shot the deer I passed on the second day? I was defiantly going for a monster and it was my choice to pass that deer. Sometimes going for broke means you bring your tag home. It was easy at the time to make that choice after I seen what you had for scouting camera pictures. You guys have a great operation and I cant wait to come back! Mark Fagerland - Somerset, WI Tombstone Creek, Thanks for a great hunt guys. It was very nice you let me bring my daughter along. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again! Dan Cahill - Fort Hood, TX Paul & Dan, I want to thank you for this years 2008 Missouri hunt, I had the time of my life. This is my first out of state whitetail hunt & felt very fortunate (lucky) to kill a nice buck. This hunt exceeded my expectations. I can honestly say that if I had not killed a buck, I still had a great time. It is obvious; the potential to kill huge whitetails in your area exists. You guys are awesome Outfitters, I am very lucky to have hunted with you. I especially want to let you know how much effort that Dan Nagel & Jim Obermueller put in so all of us had a good time. Those two guys worked their tails off helping us all week long. They both spent the entire afternoon helping Steve & I get our deer out of the woods. Both of them could have been out hunting & instead took the time to help us. I do have a large crew tentatively set up to go turkey hunting in the spring of 09. I will be getting with Dan soon to start getting things lined up if you still have openings. Again Thanks, Rich Vetterkind - Somerset, WI Paul, Jim, and Dan, I cant thank you guys enough for another successful hunt in 2009! Once again, I had the time of my life! Thanks, Rich Vetterkind I hunted with Tombstone Creek on the season opener in 2008. I could only hunt for 3 days, due to my work schedule. Despite the short hunt, I was still able to see two mature bucks. I did passed up several smaller bucks, and does, and killed a Turkey with my bow. My only regret is that I wish I had at least one more day to hunt. I was very close to getting a shot at a huge 10 point, he was just out of range. You guys have a really nice operation. Thanks, and see you next year. Toby Smith - New Richmond, WI Update 2009: Toby hunted again this season and seen several good deer, but no shot opportunities! He is planning on returning this coming season! TCOutfitters I just want to drop a note to tell you how impressed I am with your set up at Tombstone Creek Outfitters. The accomodations in the house and the bunk houses were very very comfortable. Your work shop for storing stands and taking care of downed deer was really nice. You had as great a bunch of hunters in camp when I was there. They were all hardcore hunters and spent every opportunity to hunt in the woods. Your encouragement really helps keep people fired up to hunt! It is contagious! I had an absolutely fantastic hunt from the cameraderie in camp to the hunt on your properties. The stands were set up well and were very safe and sturdy. I really liked the slip ropes. I am a big guy and I felt absolutely secure going up over 20' on climbing sticks when hooked up to the slip ropes. They are so easy to use and used in tandem with a good fall restraint they are a great safety feature! I had 32 hours of sit time on stand. While the first 3 sits (12 hours of hunting) I did not see a deer you kept encouraging me and even moved me to a different property. When the wind allowed I went to a strong stand site for a North wind. In my last 20 hours of hunting (5 sits) a saw 16 deer and 5 were bucks. Of the bucks 3 were shooters. One was a nice 8 point that probably would have made P&Y. Another was chasing a hot doe and was a very respectable 10 point that I would guess at about 140 inches. The other shooter was a real BOOMER! He was way out past the ears, heavy, and tall! I would guess he was over 170 inches of bone!!!! While I did not get a shot opportunity in my limited time to hunt I think things were really starting to pick up just as I was leaving camp. The guys started killing bucks right after the rain ended and your photo updates on a daily basis were really great and are keeping me enthused to come down for a few days of late season hunting! I just want to thank you again for sharing all your knowledge and expertise, providing a very comfortable camp, and for all of your encouragement! I can't wait to come back for the late season bow hunt and next spring's turkey hunt! Good hunting! Leigh Livermore Wisconsin Paul, my brother and i had a great time !it was slow due to the acorn crop dropping all at once ,making for unpredictable deer movement, and we still saw deer ! the land and sign tells the true story and we would love to have another shot at it ! the trail cam pics we got while in camp also told the story, the camp was great, all the comforts of home . thanx again for a great time and cant wait to return ! paul and the guys of tombstonecreek outfitters are on the money ! Mark and Brian Hitcome ps. how about that brett favre !!!! lol Mark Hitcome - Cassadaga, NY
Paul, Dan, & Jim, Just wanted to thankyou for a great hunt this season. Your operation is set up as well as any I have ever seen. I have re-booked for next season already! Cant wait! Ken Brandel
Paul, Dan, & Jim, Thanks for a great hunt, I am really looking forward to hunting agian with you guys. If I hunt the same property as last time, I already know a spot or two I am going to hang a stand. By the time I was done with my hunt, I felt I had figured out the place pretty good. Thanks again, Bob Zaborowski
Paul, Again we had a great time! Never have we heard so many gobblers in an area! the camp was great, and enjoyed the stories! We were on many birds and we captured my hunt for our video, the footage was awesome ! Thanks again for hosting the H&H OUTDOORS team in camp again. We cant wait to get back in November to tear up those big ol mo. bucks . also very nice to meet Rich and Dan. Again thank you and keep on having fun! Mark,Brian,Randy and Ed! Dan, What can I say? I killed my biggest buck ever with you guys! I plan on being back to improve on that, and take an even bigger buck! Thanks, Chris Drost Hudson, WI Paul, Once again Tombstone Creek Outfitters wildly exceeded my expectations! When I arrived in camp I found even more comfortable bunk houses and improvements to the facilities. With 10 of us in camp there was plenty of room and time for camaraderie! And the turkey hunting! FANTASTIC! I had an opportunity at a mature gobbler the first day at 38 yards and elected to pass on the shot. The next day I went back to the same blind and had multiple (4 or 5) Toms gobbling all around me. At 6:35 AM two BEAUTIFUL mature Toms came running to my calls and decoys. I shot my Tom at 15 yards following the shot placement advice you gave me in the pre-hunt meeting and made a clean kill that I am proud of. It was such and exciting hunt and I can''t express enough appreciation to you and Matt Cahill for all of the help, advice, and encouragement to enable me to make my first archery turkey kill!! Thanks a million and I will see you the last week of October for a chance to make another dream come true with a Missouri trophy buck! Good huntin''!
