Spring Creek Outfitters

Spring Creek Outfitters runs guided hunts on nearly 2,000 acres near Batesville, Arkansas, owned and operated by Keith and Cindy Gillihan under a long-term wildlife management plan. Whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, and upland birds (quail, pheasant, chukar) are all on the menu, with terrain running from treelines and thick cover to river bottoms, grasslands, and pasture. A waterfront cabin sleeping six sits on a spring-fed lake stocked for catch-and-release fishing, with a full kitchen, cable TV, grill, and fire pit for guests. Whitetail hunts run as 4-day/3-night guided packages with a one-buck, one-doe limit; a bow-only bear and whitetail combo hunt is also offered, along with a spring turkey season and half-day upland bird shoots for groups of four or more. Home-cooked meals are included with hunt packages. For hunters wanting a multi-species Arkansas trip with lodging built in, Spring Creek covers deer, bear, turkey, and birds from one base.
