Horse Creek Acres - Iowa is located less than a one-hour drive south-southeast of Omaha, NE.

At Horse Creek Acres, you'll hunt only private property that we have the exclusive hunting rights on.  We do not hunt any public property where your hunt could be interrupted by other hunters.  In addition, we place only two hunters on each parcel of property.  You two will be the only hunters on that parcel during your hunt.  This policy, along with the limited number of hunts we book annually, assures compliance with our company philosophy of providing a high-quality hunt for low-pressured trophy bucks.

Our Iowa operations are located in the extreme Southwest corner of the state, in Fremont County, just 3 miles west of the town of Sidney.  Horse Creek Acres is nestled in the heart of the Loess Hills, which rim the Missouri River Valley.  This natural habitat of hilly, hardwood timber has proven very conducive to the production of Trophy Bucks and Long Beards. In addition, the extensive farming of alfalfa, corn and soybeans nearby, provide the nutritional food sources required to grow true trophies. Our food plots not only attract wildlife, but hold it on our properties.

Once you’ve harvested your trophy, we will assist you in retrieving it with our ATV’s, no dragging by hand for any distance. We will help transport it back to the cabin yard, where our deer hanger is located, and where you can dress your deer and further process your venison. If you prefer, a reasonably priced meat locker is located in Hamburg, IA (just 10-15 minutes away) where they can take care of your deer processing needs for you.

In Iowa, you can hunt Whitetail Deer with a bow, a shotgun with slugs, or a muzzleloader (in-lines and scopes are allowed) during the appropriate seasons.

• Bow season traditionally opens on the first of October and runs until the first gun season. It then re-opens after the gun seasons and runs until mid-January.

• We have 3 gun seasons in Iowa.

  • The first gun (Slug Gun or Muzzleloader) season traditionally opens the first Saturday of December and runs 5 days, through the following Wednesday.

  • The second gun season begins a few days later, on the following Saturday, and runs 9 days, through the following Sunday.

  • A late, muzzleloader only season, opens after the second gun season and runs to mid-January.

Hunter orange is required for gun hunters and must include a cap or hat and a vest of solid hunter orange.  Camo orange is not acceptable.

The non-resident deer application period typically runs from the first of May through the first part of June, with draw notification being at the end of June.  Group applications are acceptable and you can apply for the preference point only.

The non-resident Turkey application period runs basically for the month of January, with draw notification within about a month.
