Wing Shooting

Waterfowl are hunted mostly over decoys from blinds. The only exception being ducks which we jump shoot between some smaller ponds and reservoirs. Labrador retrievers are used to retrieve waterfowl. Labs are also used in the dense cover of our bottoms for Ring Neck Pheasant. Some of these are pointing Labs who although are not staunch pointers, will advertise a bird before flushing it. Grouse are hunted over either flushing or pointing dogs; depending on the situation. Partridge are hunted in open country over English and Elhew Pointers. These are very staunch pointing dogs who do a great job.

Our bird populations consist of wild waterfowl, wild sharp-tailed grouse, wild-early release-preserve pheasant, and wild-early release-preserve partridge. We release only MacFarlane-raised game birds. These are the greatest “Flight Ready Birds” that we know of. Show us a better game bird, and we will buy it. For more information on MacFarlane Birds; go to MacFarlane Pheasants Inc.

We have to abide by State Limits on all waterfowl and grouse. On pheasant and partridge of which we release the required number per year; there are no limits.

All hunting is on private property. We prefer groups of from three to six hunters; but can work with larger groups and corporate groups up to 21. For large groups, call our toll-free number for price and availability - 1-800-253-5866.

Note: If you have your own hunting group of from 3 to 8 hunters, it is fine to bring your own dogs. If we have to mix hunters up; then we can’t allow it. We have just had too many disasters where birds are flushed out of range, etc. The exception being if we have hunted over your dog before and approve of it.

Training? We are often asked, "when do you train your bird dogs"? Our answer is always one word - constantly. We buy dogs from the finest blood lines. We have them started by professional dog trainers and then we work with them every single day.

Our Hunting Dog is positioned and ready to retrieve the bird.

The Pointing Dog: His nose is second only to the bloodhound. He moves with the grace and agility of a cat, making the pointing dog our favorite for open country hunting.

Started by professional dog trainers, this hunting dog is on the job, retrieving the bird. The Labrador: He is equally as powerful in the field and in the water. He can stand both extreme cold and extreme heat. The Labrador is our overwhelming favorite for both water fowl and dense cover upland hunting.

Rivers, reservoirs, and low lying lakes offer waterfowl hunting through the early season, lasting until our waterways begin freezing, usually around mid November.

Mixed bag hunts can be expected through all of the early season and even later on in many cases.
