Gray's Camp — Hotel in Hickman

First time ever on a guided duck hunt. Left very disappointed and very frustrated. It was very slow due to not so ideal weather which is extremely understandable! No matter where you go a guide can NOT make the birds fly. However, the guides other places probably won’t shoot ducks that the clients should be shooting. I myself had a Drake gadwall shot from under me by the guide. Very frustrating to not get many shots and when you do, you had to compete against the guides to kill a bird. 6 birds were killed out of our blind. 3 of them were killed by guides. Even as slow as it was every time birds would begin to work the guide would grab his gun. Seemed to be more worried about shooting the birds himself, rather than letting those of us who paid money to be there shoot. When asked about the issue after the guide was very dismissive and made a lot of excuses and even tried to blame it on us. Very displeased with the experience at Gray’s Camp. I’d hate be misconstrued with an individual that is only mad that they didn’t kill a bird due to missing shots or just the simple fact, that just cause you pay to hunt doesn’t mean you’re going to kill anything. But it should be known that if you’re going to hunt here, apparently YOU are responsible to request the guide not to shoot the birds you paid to come shoot. I would recommend you just take a pass on this guide and find another...

Small camping cabins but big on friendliness. Diane works in the store right on site. She was wonderful and followed up with all my questions that I left on their answering machine after hours. She was just as wonderful when we arrived. I asked for a cabin that we could wake up and see the water. Diane put us in the perfect cabin. Sunrise and sunset was beautiful. Owner, John, took us on a boat tour to see the eagles. It did not disappoint. We saw several eagles. And John is great at telling Reelfoots history and shared excellent stories, We left our weeekend trip with the feeling that we were leaving family. If you're looking for fancy, this is not the place for you. If you want a clean place with a kitchenette and bathroom and a quiet getaway, look no further. You won't find better friendliness and knowledge of John and Diane anywhere else. We loved it and will be back. Not only to see the lake and eagles, but to visit Diane and John as well. Highly recommend this...

Great views of the lake. Out in the middle of no where great sun rise and beautiful sunset great brid watching and. The people were all real friendly. Would go.
