About Us...

Hello, welcome to Windy Ridge Outfitting located in Van Buren County, Iowa. We have hunts available in Southeast Iowa and Northeast Missouri. Our location has created the greatest opportunity in the world as a white tailed deer hunter; to hunt the low pressured, rut crazed whitetails of the mid-west.

Every hunter should experience this opportunity at least once.  Our goal with Windy Ridge Outfitting is to give each hunter the best possible experience hunting in Southeast Iowa and Northeast Missouri.   We believe our farms are the best of the best.   We have quite possibly the best deer hunting properties in the Midwest and we will offer you the best experience when it comes to the quality of your hunt. Our staff is not only extremely knowledgeable on whitetail hunting, but very professional and courteous.

We pride our operation as a low pressure hunting enviroment, meshing the right amount of property with the selective number of clients who hunt with us each year.  We offer you the “hunt of a lifetime", where you have a very good chance to bag the "deer of a lifetime".  We will be running limited numbers of hunters, with some booking three years in advance. We have over 10,000 of the best acres available in Iowa and Missouri with hundreds of acres of food plots. 

As the owners and operators of Windy Ridge Outfitting, we have over 20 years experience in the whitetail woods individually and 40 years collectively. While having killed several Pope and Young deer, nothing compares to what our clients have killed over the past three years. This is a testament to our desire to put our clients first and foremost. Our guides are some of the best you can find anywhere.

Our shot opportunity (NOT harvestes animals, but opportunity at animal over our minimum) has been hovering at 130% over the last three years. Our success rate, meaning animals taking a ride in the back of the truck has been 68% for 2008, 2009, & 2010 cumulatively. Our hunters have been rebooking at a rate of over 80% which is extremely high for the industry.

After the days hunt, you will settle in at our lodge, located in the midst of our properties. You will enjoy some very good cooking with plenty of food and a good time among friends in the evening.

If you are interested in booking a hunt or have any questions at all, do not hesitate to give us a call.
