The
Whiterock Resort, in
beautiful west central Iowa. Excellent pheasant,
turkey and deer
hunting opportunities
abound in this area. However,
Whiterock Resort is currently providing only limited paid hunts
.... whitetail deer bow hunting and for overnight corporate groups only, a wild
pheasant hunt. A waiver
of liability is required. Additional hunting opportunities and a shooting
range are planned for the near future. If you want to be informed when we open our
Hunting Preserve and Shooting Range, Contact Us.
Take a Guided Wildlife Tour to
check out the valley before booking your hunt.
BOW HUNT TROPHY
WHITETAILS
Enjoy a very
private, fabulous Bow Hunt on the Long Farm
at Whiterock Resort. Designated hunting area covers about 400
timbered acres. Game food plots and some harvested fields are
surrounded by thickly wooded ravines and creeks, along the banks of the Middle Fork
of the Raccoon River. If, for any reason, you are not getting good
opportunities, we will relocate you to ensure succcess. We carefully manage the deer
herd, and there are plenty of trophy-sized bucks.
Guide and local woodsman Dean
Jackson will help you scout and set-up, and advise you on locations
and movements to maximize your chances for success. He will also help track, drag
and cut up your deer. Twelve permanent and portable
tree stands are provided. All hunters are asked to sign a waiver of liability.
In 1999, Resort Guests had a 100% success rate, and in 2000, a 75% success rate
(not for lack of opportunity). Typically, 10 point bucks, 220 pounds, Pope and
Young Scores of 135 are taken, though there are even larger bucks waiting in the valley.
Rental includes "805
River", a rustic camping cabin with screens, foam beds, table,
a wood-burning stove, firewood, outhouse and private pond.

hunters must possess a deer license and a habitat stamp; residents also need a
hunting license.
