Road Trips, Bronco Tents, and Big Bucks With Georgia Klink (Missouri)
Central Missouri—you won’t find much around here except winding gravel roads, wooded hills, and the occasional boat heading down to Truman Lake. It’s exactly the kind of place where Georgia Klink grew up: in a town that sits “right in between Kansas City and Springfield… kind of in the middle of nowhere.” But it’s in that “middle of nowhere” where Georgia’s story begins.
From Family Farm to Remote Finance
Georgia’s roots run deep—her family, including her dad and uncle, were full-time farmers. When she was six, they sold the family farm and moved to the city suburbs of Kansas City “so I could get a job paying a little better.” Yet, every weekend was spent back down on the farm, tending cattle, setting baitstands, and eventually, hunting.
After college, she spent seven years working in finance and remote accounting. But focusing on others’ books left her restless. Amid the rise of remote work, she founded her own company, “Last Strategic Remote Services”, helping small business owners manage books and taxes… all while traveling.
Finding Home in the Woods
Despite her urban office life, Georgia has always been, first and foremost, a hunter—like her dad before her. Her earliest memories: five-year-old turkey tags, family deer camps, and learning to pull a bow back under her father’s protective gaze. “There’s nothing that beats being in the woods when the woods wake,” she says. It’s peaceful, grounding—a tether to what matters most.
Hitting the Road—and the Prize
Georgia has now hunted across the U.S. and Canada—a self-proclaimed “wing-it traveler.” In the past few years alone, she’s bow-hunted turkeys in Nebraska, Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina, goose-hunted in Canada, and chased big whitetails in Missouri and Colorado. Though turkey hunting with bow in hand can be brutal (especially in the South where the birds are quiet and wary), she’s persisted—drawing back on steep ledges, waiting through grouse-filled mornings, and even engineer ambushes on Midwestern lease land.
She still laughs about the time a big tom gobbled within three yards, strutting into her decoys just feet away—a tense, thrilling dance of instincts and pause before escaping. That raw emotion? Exhaustion, excitement, elation—it’s all part of the draw of the woods.
Facing Backlash, Earning Respect
As a woman in the outdoor world, Georgia knows the critics exist—people who say “you just had it easier because you’re a girl.” But she refuses to back down, calling that mindset “so much harder—it is so much work.” Now she travels with both male and female hunting friends across the state, forging a tight-knit community. And while she’s not hunting as a “female hunter” for likes and follows, she admits she may have taken on that mantle: “I’m starting to become an influencer… just sharing what I love to do.”
Hunting by the Numbers—and the Heart
Georgia is more strategic than her easygoing nature suggests. Every season, she sets dozens of trail cameras across public and private land to pattern deer movements. She picks a couple core cameras and hones in on wind patterns and pinch points to plan setups. “There’s something satisfying about being able to see a deer here, and know it’s going here,” she says—then sit in silence as it passes.
It paid off this year: after years of filling the freezer, she finally arrowed a 165–168” Missouri whitetail. Though later, the deer was taken by neighbor hunters, she was able to recover him—giving her closure and preparing her to chase bigger giants again.
Bow Dreams of Big Game
What’s next on Georgia’s wish list? Shooting an elk with her bow—the ultimate challenge. But she’s taking her time, hunting public land in Kansas and Nebraska, testing her luck traveling by Bronco, top-tent and camera in tow, and relying on her reservoir of friendships to find spots and scouting intel.
She’s also exploring ice fishing, bow-fishing, duck/duck-goose hunting, coyote thermal hunts, upland quail, and dream hunts like helicopter hog hunts or Florida iguana blow-darts. Her motto? Try it all—“you never know until you try it.”
Wisdom from the Woods
Georgia learned to bowhunt the hard way—waiting three years before arrowing her first deer. Her mom went through the same journey, hunting right alongside her until she found her own success. Today, Georgia shoots a Bowtech and uses an HHA single pin for ranging. She even got her dad to switch to Tactacam trail cameras, saying their tech feels like “a cheat code.”
For Georgia, hunting isn’t just about solitude; it’s about connection. Her family shares a group chat for their 40-acre farm where everyone knows who’s in which stand. Some of her favorite memories aren’t just about the hunts, but the in-between moments—like laughing with her dad while running gates and getting loogied on in the process.
And when it comes to social media, Georgia tries to focus on the good: sharing passion and building community. But she also knows it can bring negativity. That’s why she reminds herself daily, “remember why you’re here. You don’t have to be the best.”
