As a cabin guest, you are welcome to hunt and trap small game on ArdPark property. Sitting on 16 beautiful wooded acres is The Pines cabin. The All American cabin rests on 2 cleared acres and both cabins are joined by miles of Mark Twain National Forest. Courtois Cabana guests are free to trap on ArdPark property and are able to cross the river or the road to enter the Mark Twain National Forest for hunting opportunities. The local folks say beavers are abundant at the rivers. Squirrels are many, there are plenty of crows and dove and there's no shortage of coyotes. Rabbits are not overrun in the area but they are there and you're sure to have no problem hunting groundhogs or trapping furbearers. Guests planning to hunt small game on ArdPark property or in the adjoining Mark Twain National Forest during their stay must fully familiarize themselves with the lay of the land before embarking on their hunt. It is imperative you are fully aware of residence locations beforehand. Hunters will need proper permits and licenses as required by the Missouri Department of Conservation to hunt on ArdPark property or in the Mark Twain National Forest. Permits are available for purchase at general stores near ArdPark and can also be purchased on line at www.wildlifelicense.com/mo/. In both hunting cabins, guests will always find a current copy of the Wildlife Code and the Missouri Hunting & Trapping Regulations. Both publications are also available online by clicking here. |
