What to Expect

With our open countryside, it is not unusual to visually locate the bird of choice and then maneuver into a calling position for the shot. With over 25 years in the guiding business, we are here to show you a good time and get you in front of some nice Toms!

The hunt can be tailored to fit your level of conditioning or physical ability. We take great pride in maintaining our 100% shot record, so don't be the first to break our record!

Frequently Asked Questions

What time is check in?
arrow icon

For hunting or fishing, there is not a specific check in time, although later afternoon is best. It is not necessary to coordinate your arrival unless it will be after supper has ended.

With your package, you are arriving the night before your trip starts. Supper is available by 6:30 pm, if you choose to be included, generally lasting about an hour.

Daily departure times vary. Pheasant hunts start at/after 10:00 am, so if you don’t have a fishing/duck excursion in the morning, you can relax and leisurely enjoy breakfast. Weather conditions determine feasibility of open-water fishing.  

Details will be provided during a casual orientation on the night of your arrival.
