Available Hunting Dates
2012 Season Plan ahead for the 2012 archery and muzzleloader season today! Make sure that you don't miss out on your opportunity to hunt with us by confirming your reservations for the 2012 season! Contact us by phone or email to start the reservation process.
Top Racks is dedicated to helping you enjoy the hunt and having a relaxing time in the great outdoors! Whether you like to be a part of the crowd or 'alone' with nature, we'll design a hunt that is sure to be a memorable experience for you for archery or muzzleloader. Our accommodations are designed for up to 4; however, if you have a larger group we can make arrangements at a local hotel. We have 22 stands for our hunters to utilize--all areas have been pre-scouted and are ready for you!
If you're a first-time hunter, Bob can give you great tips on how to keep alert, watch nature's signs, be ready for a shot--and track game! For those of you who have the know-how and are just looking for a different hunting experience, we're sure you can find it with us at Top Racks. Time is taken with you to customize a hunting package to meet your expectations.
We want children to have a fun hunting experience too, so we have special rates for kids under 14--they will receive 10% off the hunt.
Just a few requirements for the child discount: The child must be accompanied by an adult. The adult relative (hunter) who accompanies the child will also receive a discount of 10% off the booked hunt.
For the non-hunter who comes along with the hunting buddy (e.g., spouse, camera operator, etc.), we will provide accommodations and meals for a cost of $50 per day (based on a 5 day stay). If you have physical challenges, we'll do our best to accommodate you on a one-to-one basis.
The cost of our hunts may vary due to the customization of each individualized hunt package. Our hunts are on private land for whitetail deer; however, if you're interested in a preserve hunt we can also arrange this adventure as well for not only whitetail deer but also some other animals, just ask us!
Accommodations include a twin bed, hot shower, toilet, heat/AC, electric, refrigerator, microwave, and TV/VCR. We will help you ensure that your weapon is sited in and ready for that one shot of a lifetime. We stress to our hunters to take advantage of the target range.
For those who harvest a deer early, we have a stocked pond for catch and release--unless you want fresh fish for dinner! Our pond has catfish, blue gill, crappie, small mouth bass, walleye, and large mouth bass. We can also provide some great spots on the Mississinewa River, which is within one mile of our cabin. (Be sure to check out our FAQ's to find out what other activities we have to offer.)
For any booked hunt, you may change the booking date (if available) no later than 30 days prior to your originally scheduled hunt date. Private land hunts require a $500 non-refundable deposit. (A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required for the hunting preserve.) Visa or MasterCard are accepted via our web site--see payment buttons below or call us with your payment information.
