Jake Welch and his friend Marc Robinson came down for a two-day pheasant and chukar hunt.  The first afternoon Curly, Mac, Sol and Doo tracked down the birds on the Clubhouse field and Marc and Jake were able to get opportunities at all the birds.  After a steak dinner and omelet breakfast, they were out to the Cabin field for more pheasants and chukar.  Steve Sanders brought out his two English Pointers, Rose and Sue, to do the guiding.  Good dog work and some good shooting led to another successful hunt.

Chris Lewis set up a quail hunt for his friends Tim Cincotta and Maurine Free, but mostly for his Brittany, Bo and German Short Hair, Nitro.   This was Maurine’s first hunt and she knocked down several birds with Tim backing her up.   They had fun chasing around three mini-coveys placed out in the Clubhouse Field on the first day in the 50’s this year.

Greg Ireland set up a hunt with his brother, Anthony, dad, Gene and cousin Troy Pattillo.  Daisy, the amazing pound puppy did an awesome job finding the mini-coveys of quail in the Clubhouse Field.  Some nice rises and good shooting for this group, topped off by a triple on a rise by Gene.  Check it out.

Michael and Jim Geiger brought out their English Setter Susie for a mixed hunt of pheasant, quail and chukar.  The Clubhouse Field was filled with birds and Susie did a good job finding them.  Michael and Jim cleaned up and even came back with an extra pheasant.

Kevin Diekroeger came out with Karen Quinlan for a quail hunt on the Clubhouse Field.  Penny the English Setter and Ina the German Wire Hair Pup showed them where the coveys were.  Kevin had two nice rises but only knocked a few down.  The quail headed to the pasture timber and Kevin had fun cleaning up the singles in the woods.  Kevin even shoots one through the old stable as it takes off from hiding underneath.

Josh Siterlet set up a pheasant and chukar hunt for some family, Jacob Mumbower and Dr. Jim Davis, and his friend David Wells.   Steve Sanders brought out his two English Pointers, Rose and Sue to do the guiding.  They put out a bunch of pheasant and chukar  in the Clubhouse Field and had a great hunt as the temperature went from too cold to about perfect for bird hunting toward the middle of the hunt.

Phil Hocher brought out his Springer Spaniel, Mike, for a little pheasant hunt.  Phil and Mike hunted at the Cabin Field on a morning that started out in the single digits.  The birds held pretty tight in the cold and snow and Mike was able to flush all of them in range for Phil.

Joe Blythe brought out his nephew Cameron Withers and Bradyn Kaiser for a pheasant hunt to celebrate his 12th birthday.  Nice weather and a couple of inches of snow made for a great hunt.  Curly got to hunt the first round and Mac and Doo did the clean up.  The boys shot well with a little back up from Uncle Joe and were able to get almost all their birds from the Clubhouse Field.

Kevin Hall came out for a pheasant hunt with his friends and family, Daniel Childress, Nathan Storm, and Stacy and Bruce Boaz.   Weather was about perfect, near 30, light wind and about 4 inches of snow.   What birds didn’t hold tight, Curly, Mac and Doo were able to track down.  They emptied the Clubhouse Field of pheasants with a perfect 15 for 15.

Ted McGee set up a bird hunt for his buddies Nate Burgess, Jarrod Good and  three generations of Wally Good.  They picked a mix of quail, pheasant and a couple of chukars.  Ted’s English Setter Jenny started out the hunt and then Greg Ireland along with Daisy did the guiding.  Ted’s English Pointer pup Ace came along to learn from Daisy.  Some really nice covey and pheasant rises in this video.  Ted provided some chili and the group enjoyed reviewing their hunt in the clubhouse afterward.
