Testimonials

Orin has been a family friend for 30 years. He has always helped family or friends in any situation whenever asked. Hickory Hills has been a part of our family’s life for many years. I personally know he has helped the military and it’s veterans over the years with many of their needs.

Thank You to Orin Jackson and the group of dedicated individuals at Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge, where I was introduced to my first hunt. These people were very open to sharing their secrets and successes of the lodge with me and the fellow veterans attending. They are a very patriotic group and are proud to support our strong military. I have been back many times and can’t wait till the next trip. Very proud to recommend them to all our military veterans and law enforcement personnel. AGAIN THANK YOU! SEMPER FIDELIS.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr. Orin Jackson in 2003 when I was on active duty in the Marine Corps. I have been to Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge many times over the years, including time spent there after my return from the Iraq war. My experience was a positive one and helped me. I personally know many of the veterans that have benefitted from their experiences there.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal knowledge of Orin Jackson, who I have known for 12 years. I have been going to Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge since I’ve known Orin, and it has had a positive impact on my life. I was recently disabled as a Police Officer, with injuries sustained while on the job, and will be returning to Hickory Hills soon.

I have been fortunate enough to hunt in many states with different outfitters, and I have to say Orin Jackson has created a hunting paradise with Hickory Hills Veterans lodge. Located in the heart of big buck country, it offers some of the finest deer and turkey hunting in the country. Excellent lodging, great meals and fellowship with other veterans, makes this truly a one of a kind place. The best kept secret in Missouri, and a place I will return to again and again. Thanks Hickory Hills!

I have personally known Orin Jackson since August 2002. Mr. Jackson is a great role model and can be counted on in time of need without hesitation. I have served 24 years in the United States Marine Corps and have led Marines in all sorts of situations. My experiences with Marines and civilians have enabled me with a good judge of personal character. Orin Jackson is a great American citizen.
