Turkey Hunting
Butler Farms Outdoor Adventures offers beautiful Midwest countryside abounding with Eastern turkeys. Spring turkey hunts begin in mid-April. You will find the same courteous service and traditional values as with our whitetail deer hunting.
Our guests enjoy the freedom of DIY hunting on their own tract of land. Hunters enjoy the privacy and quality that our beautiful farms have to offer. With 340 acres of land available for turkey hunting in three separate tracts, you will enjoy hunting on your own tract of land without the presence of other hunters, creating a personal hunting experience.
You will enjoy your hunting adventure in woodland, cropland, and pastures with creeks and springs.
You may check in at 12:00 (noon) the day before to scout your site and put the turkeys to bed the evening before the hunt. All hunts are DIY hunts.

- A hunting experience you will never forget.
Please note: You may check in at noon the day before to scout your site. All hunts are DIY hunting.
