Brett Reed came out for a pheasant hunt with a few of his buddies on a very wet February morning. They split into a couple of groups with Travis Devall taking some to the Cabin Field and Colton Wilkins guiding and filming over at the North Tinkerfarm Field. They sloshed through and flushed the birds out of the soaked milo and prairie, coming back with most of the pheasant and one damp chukar.

Alex, Sam, Melvin, Ross and Nick Stock came out on late February, Sunday morning to hunt some pheasant. I think this was Nick’s first pheasant hunt and they all had plenty of action. Sam did the guiding, the video and some shooting. Sol and Ava did a nice job, and like all Stock hunts not many birds escaped.

Andy Erbe set up a pheasant hunt for five of his buddies. Jeff Powell got out his cocker, setter and shorthair to find the pheasants running around the Clubhouse Field. Lots of rises and lots of birds biting the dirt as some of them tried to pass through all six shooters.

Justin brought out his son, Corey for his first pheasant hunt. I got Sol and Ava out to find the birds in the Clubhouse Field. Corey did a nice job, wasting no time knocking down his first pheasant. Dogs and hunters did a nice job finding a few extra birds. Some loud roosters and good shooting in this video.

Kevin Diekroeger came out with his pups, Ina and Penny to hunt some quail. I set out some coveys around the west edge of the Clubhouse Field and then picked up my shotgun to help with the harvest. We had a couple nice rises and some fun shooting in the timber and pasture. Hit some missed some, another day in the field.

Terry Knebel set up a hunt for his buddies, Lou Stamm and Roger Well on President’s Day last February. Terry brought his shorthair, Sadie and Roger his young lab, Timber to find, point, flush and retrieve. Nice morning in the field.

Bryce Brazier, Shane Patton and Bryan Hargrave made it up from Southern Illinois for their third annual overnight upland bird hunt. I guided them around the Clubhouse Field the first afternoon. Lots of points, rises and good shots, a few a little too close. Good dinner and an evening of poker in the clubhouse. After breakfast, Steve Sanders guided them after pheasant, chukar and quail in the Cabin Field. Enjoyable few days with the guys from Shawneetown.

Brett Goldschmidt set up a hunt for about 25 friends. He spent the night before smoking some great pulled pork to share before their afternoon hunt. The hunters spread out around five fields in search of pheasant, chukar and quail. I got some video from some of the hunts, including the group I took out into the Clubhouse Field. Lots of rises and good shooting in this action-packed video.
