Steve Sanders set up and guided a hunt for his son, Travis and grandkids, Morgan and Tyler. We set out some chukar and quail in the Cabin Field just after Christmas for Steve’s pointers and lab to find, flush and retieve. Great family day in the field.

Jeff Zenthoefer set up a Christmas Eve, upland bird hunt for his buddies, Bob Bolinger, Jared West and Francis Povis on . Jeff Powell used his bird dog mix to find, point and flush the pheasant, chukar and quail out of the Cabin Field. Lots of flushes and covey rises and some good shooting in this video.

Dean and Sandy Devall got a surprise when they came out for a hunt for just themselves and their family showed up to join them. Travis and I set out a pile of pheasant, chukar and quail in the Cabin Field for the array of bird dogs to find.

Steve Henna set up a hunt for his son, Nathan, son in law, Mitch Ashbaugh and friend Steve Knebel. They started late on a December afternoon, giving time for every one to get in town for the holidays and the hunt. Colton Wilkins took out his shorthair, Preacher, to find the pheasant, chukar and quail in the Clubhouse Field. The hunt may not have been called on the account of darkness but it was close.

Kevin Diekroeger and I took his dogs into the open timber in search of some chukar and quail. Ina and Penny found the chukar and we knocked them down on the way to big quail covey. Only four of the thirteen quail were still coveyed up when we found them. The singles and doubles spread around the open timber were not holding well and flying fast which made for some incredible woods shooting. We came back with 10 of the quail, all the chukar and a lot of awesome memories.

Mike Fitzatrick and Jonathon Bracken came out for a Christmas Eve pheasant and chukar hunt. I stocked the Clubhouse Field and then got out Sol and Ava to find the birds in the prairie. Some nice rises on roosters and chukar doubles followed by some good shooting. Even found a spare chukar and quail. Nice way to usher in the holidays.

Tom Duddy came out with his friend, Anthony Calarco and his shorthair, Bodie to hunt some quail. The day they had available was cloudy, windy and wet, but they still had a nice hunt in the prairie on the South Tinkerfarm Field. I was able to get one covey rise on camera, nice dog work and shooting.

Dan Butler set up a mega upland bird hunt day for his buddies, Mike Severe, Gary Morgan, Joe Hodge, Jim Matusin, and Tyler Morgan. Dan does it right, going after over 140 birds over two hunts on a beautiful, December, Saturday. Jeff Powell did the guiding for the morning hunt in the Cabin Field. After some lunch, Travis Devall took them back to the Cabin Field after some more birds and clean up some from the morning. Some incredible big covey rises in this video.

Caroline and Mark Gilje brought out their Pudelpointer, Wendy to hunt some quail with their friends, Bill McKay, Tom Truss and Michael Murphy. But before that big hunt, Caroline and Michael came out a couple days before on a wet, windy afternoon to get Wendy on some birds. Two days after that warm up hunt, they came back to hunt some quail coveys in the Cabin Field, Some nice covey rises and lots of shooting with the big group.
