Who You're Calling

Owner Operated. Hunter to Hunter.

Ryan Rounds and family

RWR is owner operated. When you call, you are talking to Ryan Rounds, the same person who shows up with the truck, the M4T, and a real plan to find your deer or map your ground.

Based in Sedalia with deep roots in Central Missouri whitetail culture, Rounds Wildlife Resources was built to fill a gap that hunters and landowners around the Lake of the Ozarks have been talking about for years. A fast, professional, local aerial operation that actually answers the phone after dark and delivers reports you can use.

Every job is logged. Every recovery is documented with a GPS pin. Every map is delivered as a PDF along with KML and OnX export so you can carry it into the field. Same straight talking service whether you are a first time hunter or running a guided operation with paying clients.

What Hunters and Landowners Are Saying.

"Hit him at last light, lost the blood in eighty yards. Ryan was on site in under an hour and we had him on the truck by 9:30. Worth every dollar."

Hunter, Miller County

"The habitat strategy map changed how I hunt this farm. Saw two travel corridors from the air I had walked past for ten years. Money well spent."

Landowner, Benton County

"Found a calf in the timber that we had been looking for two days. Saved me a real loss. I will be calling him every spring."
