Traxler's
HUNTING PRESERVE
Traxler’s Hunting Preserve began in 1987 when Jeff took out a loan from his grandmother Dorthy. With $5000 in hand, he started his business in his father, Dale’s, shed.
Now, 35 plus years later we at Traxler’s Hunting Preserve continue to serve our friends, family, and customers. Together, and with our devoted staff, we wish to thank all of our loyal customers for visiting us at Traxler’s.
We look forward to many years to come.
Our preserve is your own private hunting area; a place to get away with family and friends, or alone. Traxler’s is over 750 acres of rolling hills, woods, lakes, sloughs, fields, natural grasses and brush that provide the perfect environment for your hunt. It’s a great place to get away for a few hours, or even a few days! Your hunt can be long or short, easy or challenging, we have an option for any hunter’s needs.
If you need to be convinced, just check out the panoramic views of the preserve.
ABOUT OUR PRESERVE
Our specialty is bird hunting. Good hearty, strong flying pheasants and large hunting fields are what we are known for. We have pheasants, and chukars. You will never go home empty-handed. We also have pointers and flushers at your disposal, our dogs hunt with anyone!
Call us today to set up a hunt, we offer morning and afternoon hunts. You pick how many and what kind of bird or hunting experience you would like, how many people and whether you need to rent one of our state-of-the-art hunting dogs or want one of our guides to assure your hunt is successful. Birds will be set up or released just before/at the time of your hunt. There are wet and dry areas for you to work with your own dog, as long as you talk to the boss first. The process is simple! Our staff is happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
