I have heard of it but never been there. I hope that you have a great time and hunt.

We had a great time with Bruce and Marcia. They had good cover, great dog work “2 shorthairs and 1 setter”, and conversation along the hunt. Marcia made a great lunch while Bruce and the other guide cleaned the birds. 
 

I had 2 buddies with me. We harvested 8 pheasant and 10 quail. Definitely was NOT my best shooting day. Weather yesterday was perfect. We will be back.

John, it was a great day. One of my buds that went owns an insurance agency so doesn’t get out much, and tho he is an avid outdoors guy had only been bird hunting once, and that was a European style shoot. He absolutely loved the actual hunt. My other buddy is retired “young age” and hadn’t hunted birds in over 20 years, so had a blast as well.
 

The owner Bruce was our guide. Great guy that was a pleasure to chat with the 4 hours we were there. They run roughly 800 acres. Half of the fields are cut milo, and the other grown up grass for later in the season. He must have liked us cutting up with him all morning because he took us across the fence to one of the grown up fields. Dogs pointed a few more birds over there, but our lack of shooting only accounted for 1 more rooster. 
 

I think they said we will be going back the first of Jan.  I’m ready.

There's a place in Huntsville AR that I have hunted a few times.   It was good training for the pooch.  Farm raised quail are pretty tasty too, good to go home with a few.  Can't beat hunting wild birds though, and I miss my days of hunting pheasant, quail, and chukar when I lived in Washington.

What kind of $$$ did the 4 hour hunt cost?
