Mike Davis came out with his buddy, Bob Jones to hunt some pheasant. Travis Devall did the guiding with his setter, pointer and brittany in the Clubhouse Field. Tough, wet conditions and a bit of a breeze got the birds up and running, making for some tough hunting.

Whitey Willms set up a pheasant and chukar hunt for his friends, Bob Fullar and Bill Kelly. Travis Devall got the guiding duties in the North Tinkerfarm prairie and milo strips. The chukar were no match for the hunters, but a couple of pheasant flew off into the thick fencerows to hide.

Jim Berner and Jake Smith came out to hunt some pheasant and chukar. Jeff Powell guided them on the North Tinkerfarm Field on a cold, December afternoon. Great hunt, lots of birds and they only let a few fly away.

Brad Bickhaus set up an upland bird hunt for his co-workers and friends. They picked an excellent morning, around 30 with a light breeze. Jeff Powell guided half of the group over at the North Tinkerfarm Field while Colton Wilkins guided the rest with his dog, Preacher in the Clubhouse Field. Both groups came back with the same nice harvest.

On January 27th, 22 shooters and several dog handlers braved the cold to shoot down 200 pheasants in the Clubhouse Field.

That was probably the best Continental Pheasant Shoot we have held at Sandy Run, but I would like to top it on February 24th. On that Sunday, we will hold the last shoot of this season. Call, text or email me to get your stand reserved.

Dale Timmermann set up a pheasant and chukar hunt with his friend Brian Corrigan. Jeff Powell brought out his mix of setters, shorthairs, brittanys and a cocker to find and flush the birds out of the Cabin Field prairie. They had alot of action with Meg flushing the birds and hunters brining them home.

Jim, Tom, Ben, Tom, Matt and Michael Jenkins joined JB and Jeff Biermann came out to hunt some pheasant. The picked a cloudy, warm, wet morning so the pheasant held tight in the December cover. Travis Devall guided half of the group over at the Cabin Field and Colton Devall got the other half in the Clubhouse Field. With a bunch of pheasant out there, I brought out Ava to help clean up in the Clubhouse Field.

Little Lazzi is the last puppy from Hildy’s litter for sale. She has a ton of desire to retrieve, point the wing and chase pigeons. She is getting close to being house broken and is going to have beautiful fuzzy face. She is all Wirehair, getting into trouble constantly but able to settle down on the couch for a nap. Lazzi is a little over 9 weeks and ready for her new home. Still $800, but will be more when she is housebroken and better mannered is a couple of weeks.

I have both a male and female Hildy puppy looking for their new home. Here are some pics from our morning walk.

On the left is Jimmy, very wiry male, very close second to the pick male I am keeping (I have changed my mind more times than I can count). On the right is Lazzi, a little fuzzy faced female that is very rambunctious. Loves to retrieve.

They are a litttle over 8 weeks old and learning fast. Jimmy is getting close to being house trained. I have them priced at $800 now, but as they get house broken and more basic training their value will be increasing.

John McIntosh came down with his young setter, Binx to hunt some quail. I set out some mini-coveys down in the East Bottom Field and Binx found them all. He got some good work with the quail and John got to take some home for dinner.
