Charlie Durbin set up a hunt with his friends, Darrell Ahlf and Mike Kuhns.  Darrell brought along his setter, Candy to find the quail and chukar in the Clubhouse Field.  Candy did a nice job finding the coveys and chukar doubles, but is was a beautiful, warm, spring afternoon so I got Ava and Doo out of the kennel to help clean up on the singles.

Trent Yokely brought out his new brittany, Duke, along with his friend Brian Cox to get on some pheasant and chukar.  Lane Cox came along to make sure they all did the hunting right.  Duke did a nice job finding the birds I spread around the East Bottom and they came back with most.

Greg Presson, Duffy Cleland, Helen Edwards and Ryan Kelley came out to run their young chocolate lab on some pheasant and chukar.  I set their birds in the milo strips in the East Bottom to give the young lab her best chance to find and flush all the birds.  She did such a good job, they decided to do the hunt twice.

Mike Severe set up a hunt for his friends, Earl Taylor, Rick Highcock, and Dan Butler.   I set out a pile of pheasant, chukar and quail in the Clubhouse Field and my cousin Jeff, brought out the dogs to find the birds.   Sol and Mac got the start, then a break for some hot coffee and to restock the field.   Doo and Curly finished the hunt.  I caught a few rises on video, including a really nice covey rise toward the end of this video.

Bo Baer set up a hunt with his friends Gary Dodillet and Mark Mitchell.        I filled the Clubhouse and East Bottom Fields with pheasant and chukar and then got Sol and Mac out to find them.  The dogs found most of the birds, they harvested some and scattered some.  I got Ava and Doo out to find the wayward birds  and after a nice morning in the field, they ended up with a mess of birds.

Travis Devall took his young pointer, Sadie, out for a little refresher on some quail.  Sadie found the singles and doubles around the Clubhouse Field and got steadier with each find.

Tim and Ron Ridderbos came out for a pheasant and chukar hunt.  Travis Devall got out his two setters, Patches and Zip, to find the big birds in the Clubhouse Field.  Beautiful day to be in the field, some nice dog work and getting all your birds, made for one great hunt.

Colton Wilkins came up with a couple of buddies, Tyler Butts and Cole Armstrong to hunt some pheasant and chukar.  He brought along his two shorthair, Preacher and setter, Bama to find the birds in the Pasture and Clubhouse Fields.  Great hunt, lots of birds and shooting and they didn’t leave any in the field.

Chris Doedtman brought out his two boys, Jacob and Beau for a pheasant and chukar hunt.  Jeff Powell guided the hunt with his setters, brittanys and cocker spaniel.  They picked a windy day, but still had lots of action and shots at the Cabin Field.

Ben and Zach Rasche set up an upland bird hunt for their buddies, Tyler Bastert and Chris Geary.  They started out hunting a few pheasant and a bunch of quail around the Clubhouse Field along with Travis Devall and his pair of setters.  The quail coveys dissolved fairly quickly into singles.  After a break I added some more chukar and pheasant to go along with quail singles left over.  Toward the end I brought out a few setters to help with the hunt and the hunters came back with a pile of birds.
