Welcome to Circle S Ranch, a premier free-range hunting destination in the heart of Northern Missouri. Spanning over 8,000 acres across Linn, Sullivan & Macon counties, our ranch offers expansive habitat and ideal conditions for quality Missouri whitetail deer and wild turkeys.
Our property features a diverse mix of timber, crop fields, bedding cover and travel corridors — the perfect environment for mature bucks and thriving turkey populations. We take pride in delivering 100% free-range, fair-chase hunts that challenge hunters while keeping wildlife management ethical and responsible. From the moment you arrive, our goal is a genuine Midwest hunt built around great habitat, quality wildlife, and a relaxed lodge atmosphere.
Ted Stoner, a veteran and the owner/operator of Circle S Ranch, grew up on a farm in Northeast Nebraska, where his passion for hunting began. After high school, he proudly served six years in the United States Navy. His deep love for hunting, combined with his dedication to this country, makes him the perfect person to deliver an exceptional hunting experience.
100% free-range and fair-chase hunts, every time. No high fences, no shortcuts — genuine, challenging hunts and responsible wildlife management on all 8,000 acres.
From the lodge to the field, our guests are treated like family. We keep things relaxed, welcoming and built around a great hunt you'll want to come back for.
“I hunt not because I want to kill, but because I want to live.”
