Spencer, Mark, Bill, Jeff and Terry, w/Flip Pheasant Hunt

Spencer Patton set up a pheasant hunt for his buddies, Bill and Jeff Riley, Terry Mulligan, and Mark Maxey. Spencer brought out his setter, Flip to find the birds in the Clubhouse Field. The frigid temperatures kept the birds holding tight and Flip got a little help on the second round from Colton Wilkins and his shorthair, Preacher. Spencer brought out his Cubs World Series ring for all the hunters in the clubhouse to see, very cool.

Mike, Dan, Joe, Gary, Clay and Cole, Upland Bird Hunt

Mike Severe set up an all-day hunt for his buddies, Dan and Joe Butler and Cole, Clay and Gary Geisler. Colton Wilkins guided the morning hunt in the Clubhouse Field, finding the pheasant, chukar and quail. Two really nice covey rises in the morning hunt. Then back to the Clubhouse for some warmth and chili. Back out to the Cabin Field for the afternoon hunt with Jeff Powell and his dogs. Great day in the field with a ton of action.

Derek, Mike, David, Donovan and Daniel, Pheasant and Quail Hunt

Derek, David, Daniel, Mike and Donovan Delaney came out for pheasant and quail hunt. Travis Devall did the guiding over at the north end of the Tinkerfarm Field. The pheasant were tough, running around the milo strips and the quail got into the timber and rough country on the west side and fencerows. They still had a nice hunt coming back with a pile of birds for Christmas dinner.

Guy, Cameron and Clayton, Pheasant and Chukar Hunt

Guy Merker came down from Northern Illinois with his two sons, Clayton and Cameron for some upland bird hunting. They came down the evening before to get a nice start in the morning after some eggs and bacon. Travis Devall took them over to the Tinkerfarm Field to run his dogs on the pheasant and chukar in the prairie strips and edges. This was the first pheasant hunt for the two boys and after a few rises they were knocking them down.
