Welcome to Hunt Masters Lodge! My name is Joel Snow and I have operated Five Start Outfitters in Ohio for the past ten years. I recently made the decision to stop working my two jobs to outfit hunts, full-time.
Our Ohio outfitting business is truly a family affair with the operation being located at my residence. I have made life-long friends during this time and everyone enjoys watching my 3 girls grow up.
My passion for big whitetails (and putting people on them) has taken a step forward with the help of Tim Oldham. We have sought after some of the very best hunting land in the midwest. Tim has successfully managed a very large outfitting service for the past couple of years, but due to the sale of his lease - we have joined forces to expand the operation into other states.
We have carefully selected premiere properties in Illinois and Missouri as our first additions. You can read more details about each individual property by accessing their page on this site. Tim and I personally make the rounds to see that all the "T"s are crossed and the "I"s are dotted. Tim will be managing our Illinois property and one of my top Ohio guides, Tim Ryan, will be managing Missouri.
Each location has it's own "touch" and "feel" which is reflected in the terrain, country views and lodging. Whatever your personal preference may be for chasing whitetails or turkey, we aim to be your Go-To destination for:
- Hunting Illinois Rut with a Shotgun
- Hunting Missouri Rut with a Rifle
- Hunting January Food Sources in Ohio with a Muzzleloader
- Starting your Year Early, in Missouri, during September
- Or a Quality Archery Hunt - Take your pick!
Regardless of what you choose to hunt, or where - you will be assured that every aspect of our operation is second to none. We cannot control Mother Nature or the animals, but we can control:
- The Hopsitality
- The Work ethic that makes your hunt a success
- Prepration - Prepration - and More Prepration (year-round),
- Nice, Relaxing and Clean Facilities
- Great Food
- Top Notch Equipment
- Professional, friendly, helpful and courteous guides (2 hunters per guide)
- Well-planned entrance and exit routes
- We Keep the number of hunters low (not run 'em through like cattle)
- The number of stands - we have a lot, so there are always fresh ones
- Relentless pursuit.
Not every hunt at Hunt Masters Lodge will end with a kill, but you will leave with a great experience, a lot of new friends and the feeling that everyone involved gave it their all for you. Let us be your outfitter of choice for every Whitetail adventure. Stay tuned... New locations are on the horizon. |
