Testimonials

Bill and Sherree,
I have been on a handful of pay hunts and Declue's Riverbottom Farms was by far the best. From birds to bucks the farm is well managed and the lodge is a comfortable place to spend time with old and new friends. I appreciate the personal effort your family and guides make to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels at home. I will be scheduling my 3rd visit after I loose the 10lbs I gained from all the great cooking on the last trip. Many thanks for another successful hunt.

 

I truly want to say thank you again for a great hunting experience for me, and your great hospitality during my stay in Missouri.  I really look forward to coming out again in the near future.

 

 

Bill/Sherree, I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful time we had at your club last December. We had a blast and all the accommodations were top notch. Bill and Nate treated us to an extremely fun hunt. To my surprise as I was showing off pictures to Travis that he knew you guys. Always a small world. We hope sometime in the future we can make that trip again.

I know you have a lot of pictures on the website and in the club of successful hunts. We felt that we had a pretty successful weekend and just wanted to give you a copy of our pictures.

Once again, we want to thank you and hope we can do it again.

Thank you for a great week of hunting. Your farm is unbelievable and your hospitality was a real pleasure. Even though I didn’t shoot a deer, the hunt was one of my most successful. I can’t believe the quality of bucks that I encountered in such a short time – not to mention the interactions I observed between them!! I plan to be back in the near future. When you find out the dates for next year’s bow and gun seasons. Let me know. The only question I have in my mind is whether I want to do a bow or gun hunt. It will definitely be on my schedule next year.

I visited the family run DeClue Riverbottom Farm in the fall of 2007. If you want to have a great hunt and relaxing vacation this is the place to go. The DeClue family are the best hosts in the world. Bill DeClue is very passionate about giving you the opportunities to have an enjoyable hunt. With his knowledge of the property and wildlife and the strategically placed food plots you have all the factors in place for prime habitat holding lots of game. If you can find a better place to spend your time hunting it may only be in heaven.

I had a great time over the weekend. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and hunting. I hope to come back some day. I will send the pictures in several emails as they will not all go through in one.

I’m looking forward to my first hunt with you in Missouri. I have no doubt that is will be memorable given the great hunts that I have had with you back east. The effort and thought you put in to those hunts, to this day and with all the hunts I have taken around the country, be it big game or small, yours still stand out and some of the finest and fun I have ever enjoyed. The attention is detail; the blinds, the decoys, the scouting ahead of time, the meals and most importantly the friendship are great memories for me. I have no doubt that your love of the hunt will mean continued great success.

I wanted to write a quick note of thanks for some great hunts last year. The Early season dove hunt was fun with lots of birds and fast action shooting. The duck hunt during mid season, showed birds working as good as opening day, especially the mallards. The accommodations at the Garrison and the homemade food was excellent. Nice and relaxing after a great day of hunting. I am looking forward to making a goose hunt and trying a chance at the HONKERS!! See you all in the fall.

Bill, Thank you again for the most unbelievable deer hunt I have ever been on. You offer not only first class accomadations but the farm and abundance of wildlife are truly incredible. Even though I may have missed that 140+ incher it will not prevent me from coming back next year. One thing that impressed me was the scouting and time you took to prepare me for the hunt. Seeing that picture of the deer that \"got away\" on your camera was awesome. I would recommend your place to anybody and find it hard to believe that it gets any better than what I got to experience.
