More about us
Our company was established in 1998 and operates in 2 territories.
- Bob Parker has won several awards from African Hunter of the Year, Best Missouri Whitetail, and numerous Bow Awards with his recurve bow. He has several entries in Safari Club International and also Missouri Big Bucks Club. Bob has taken lot's of big Southern Missouri whitetails over the years and uses his knowledge of an assortment of hunting tactics to help his clients take one one of hardest animals on the planet to hunt, a mature free ranging whitetail buck!
- "Big Whitetails are unlike other deer, they are extremely reclusive and in most cases a Ghost in the woods. It takes a different strategy to hunt them. While I certainly can't guarantee you will take a trophy buck with me I can guarantee I will do everything I can to get you on a nice buck. Many of my hunters have taken the biggest deer of their life with me and that always puts a big smile on everyone's face!" Bob Parker
- Trophy Quest Outdoor Adventures has been in operation since 1998. It is a small family run hunting operation with some excellent Deer and Turkey hunting located in the Southern Missouri Ozarks region on nearly 700 acres of private land surrounded by vast amounts of heavily wooded timberlands. It's operations are located in Texas, and Shannon Counties. The Trophy Quest lodge and main hunting property is located in the famous Texas County region that is well known for giant Eastern Turkey and excellent Whitetail hunting. Texas County is legendary for it's deer and turkey hunting and is usually in the top 3 counties in Missouri for deer and turkey kills and many times has been number one! It's unique blend of expansive timberland and small farms provides excellent habitat for game. Our Wildlife are free ranging and are truly wild and fair chase for an challenging outdoor adventure.
- The lodge and cabins have over 80 mounts adorning the walls and the rustic cabins were built by Owner Bob Parker and his wife Karen, with much of it sawn from timber from his property on his Wood Mizer sawmill. Years of hunting in the U.S., Canada, and several Safari's in Africa are evident around the Lodge with numerous game mounts adorning the walls. Bob has hunted Whitetail deer and turkey for over 40 years and has extensive experience in the field to help you find that trophy of a lifetime!
- UPDATE: We recently added another hunting property that has hardly been hunted for 30 years. This year will be our first time hunting it. We are excited about our upcoming seasons!
- For an adventure of a lifetime...Come join us!

Bob is a class act
Bob really worked hard and tried to help us however he could to make our hunt successful. He knows his land well. It was super early and the birds were hened up and had a big cold front but we stayed with them. My son got a huge bird after we got them patterned. His first Tom. 1-3/8 spurs . Memories that will last a lifetime. Stay with them and be patient. Saw Tons and tons of deer. Man o man was it loaded with deer. Every where we set up we had deer come by us. Every single time.
Excellent hunting experience
Plenty of deer lots of bucks to choose from
Felt like home
Bob made me his primary focus while I was there. I will forsure be going back!
Nothing.
