Amos Boggs, Kenny Kaufman and Darrin Mars came out for an upland bird hunt and brought their own guide along, Jeff Powell to help find and knock down the birds. They spread out around the North Tinkerfarm prairie and milo strips with Meg and the rest of Jeff’s dogs finding and pointing the birds. Lots of action and lots of birds harvested, only a few pheasant escaping to the thick fencerows.

Chuck Gurkin and Gene Hodge came out to hunt some pheasant and chukar. Gene missed all last season, but he and his shorthair Addie along with the some help of Chuck, cleared the field of all the birds I set out. Welcome back Gene and Addie.

Merrell and Zac Collins brought out his new Weimaraner, Lulu out for some more quail work. I set out some singles in the Clubhouse Field milo for Lulu to find and point. She did a great job for starting to hunt at two years old just a couple weeks before. She found all the birds, Zac knocked them down and she even had a couple retrieves.

Tyler and Kyle Eaton came out with their shorthair, Ace and friends, Nate Smithe and Bentley Beaver to hunt some pheasant. Ace got the duty of finding the pheasants in the Clubhouse Field. He must have done a good job for a warm breezy day, the hunters came back with 10 out of 12.

Joe Lawson set up a hunt for his sons, Tim and Josh and son-in-law Doug Forbes just after Thanksgiving. Colton Wilkins and his shorthair guided them after pheasant, chukar and quail in the East and West Bottom Fields. They did great on all the big birds, with only a couple of quail escaping across Sandy Run in the big timber.

Terry Knebel and Roger Well brought out their dogs, Sadie and Timber to hunt some quail. I set out some mini-coveys in the prairie around the timber edges trying to escape some breezy conditions. The pups did a great job, they got almost all the quail and a bonus pheasant.

Mike and Chris Davis came out to hunt some pheasant. Colton Wilkins came out with his shorthair, Preacher, to find the big birds spread around the Cabin Field. Some gusty winds and wet conditions made for an interesting hunt and some fast flying birds.

Mitch and Nick Tarr invited a couple of their buddies, Caelyn Dhom and Hunter Michl to join them on an upland bird hunt. Travis Devall brought out his setter, Zip, pointer, Sadie and young brittany to guide the hunt on the Cabin Field.

Justin Kollman and Lance Litteken came out for an upland bird hunt after Thanksgiving. Steve Sanders guided them down on the South Tinkerfarm Field. Lots of rises and shooting in this video. They had a great hunt, leaving only a couple for seed in the prairie and corn stubble.

Ed and Trent Rohrer, Scott and Jack Geest, Trevor, Nathan and Kevin Dehaan and Adeline Dutton came out after Thanksgiving to hunt some pheasant. Steve Sanders guided part of the hunt over at the Cabin Field. Both groups had a good hunt, coming back with a pile of pheasant.
