I've hunted Harpoles Heartland Lodge twice. Those are the only two outfitter hunts I've been on. We had a good time. The accommodations were top notch, although I don't care for how good that is when I'm hunting. I can sleep in a barn. I killed a doe and 130" 9 point my first trip. Second trip was only a three day I believe but I did see a few deer. Things may have changed since then. My two trips were in 1999 and 2002.


Thanks.
