Twin Lakes Sporting Club is beginning our 19th season as a Licensed Hunting Preserve and Sporting Clays course. We truely appreciate everyone that has had the opportunity to enjoy our area, and plan on continuing to provide a place for you, your family and friends to enjoy the outdoors.
The Elmer Fudd annual hunt was yesterday, February 6th. We had 13 hunters brave the winter elements, and roads, to get here but had a wonderful hunt. About 3 inches of snow on the ground but temperatures in the low 30's provided an excellant day for the large hunt. The birds performed really well, but hunters harvest the large majority of the birds. They began the day with their annual Tribute to the Kansas Jayhawk. Hopefully there will be some pictures shortly. 573-581-1877

BUSINESS PROFILE

Twin Lakes Sporting Club was established in 1991. It is located on a 1400-acre family grain-crop farm about 30 Miles Northeast of Columbia, MO. or 120 miles west of St. Louis along I-70. Our 1280-acre hunting preserve provides all the needs for a successful hunt without the hassles associated with locating a place to hunt, poor cover, local limits and few birds.

We have worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation since 1986, planting over 10,000 trees as well as planting food plots and managing for native grasses.
We believe that this natural cover along with our hard flying, full-feathered birds offers the type of hunting the discriminating hunter is looking for. Hunting at a well, managed, hunting preserve can be far sportier than so called open hunting on most farmlands. This is because the cover and wildlife habitat are so much better developed. It's a sorry fact that there is now more wildlife habitat on a good hunting preserve than there is on most farms.

Saturday after the wild quail season ended the Thuggers (formally known as the Washington Warriors) held their 1st Annual, End of the Quail Season, Bird Hunt & Social. Dave's Chili was a hit, though it made the afternoon hunt more difficult for the dog. We tried to keep the wind in the dogs face and the hunters behind.

Recently, Vogler's Rough Riders annual hunt was held again at Twin Lakes. As every year, there is a "little" joking going on between fans of The Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers. Below is a couple of pictures of the loser of the KU/MU football game.
