Jeff Zenhoefer came out with his hunting buddies, Harlen Lucas, Rob Buhlinger and Joe Zahn to hunt some pheasant, quail and chukar.   I filled the Cabin Field with birds and Travis Devall brought out his setters, Zip and Patches to do the guiding.  Tons of action, with a bunch of birds and a bunch of shooting. Great hunt.

Ray Rudy set up a hunt for his friends, Willie and Matt Bone.  I set out some pheasant, chukar and a quail covey in the Clubhouse Field.  Greg Ireland brought out Daisy to find the birds and did her usual great job, she found all the birds and they brought back most.

Wil Bryant set up a hunt for all his Air Force buddies, Tim Gunley, Todd Goeb, Gerritt Schroeder and Tyler McCrory.  Jeff Powell guided them in the icy, Cabin Field, hunting for pheasant, chukar and just a few quail.  Lots of morning action and then chili for lunch  and back out in the Clubhouse Field for some afternoon hunting.  Steve Sanders brought out his pointers for some upland bird hunting with a few more quail added for the dryer conditions.  More fun and lots of birds in the air and on the ground.

Cory Harris set up a  pheasant hunt for his daughters, Adrianna and Bailey.  He choose Jeff Powell to do the guiding with his mix of Brittanys, shorthair, and setter to find the birds.  The girls were able to knock down a few as Cory played back up.

Matt Ritter set up a pheasant hunt for Macy Zumwalt and Tom and Joey Leidner.  Colton Wilkins brought up his setter/shorthair team to do the guiding.  They did a nice job hunting the pheasnts from the East Bottom field.  

Cameron Withers came out to hunt some pheasant and chukar with his buddies, Kyle Guffey and Johnny Lotz, Uncle Joe came along for moral support.  I brought out Sol and Mac to hunt the birds I set out in the wet Clubhouse Field and the boys did not give them much of a chance. We found all the birds plus a couple extra pheasant and a quail or two.

Mike and Brandon Dudley came out with their buddies, Talon Pile and Jake Nichols for a pheasant hunt.  I set a pile of birds in the Clubhouse Field, so their brittanys and shorthair could hunt them.  They picked a very wet day, with occasional showers, so I only stayed out for a few rises before letting the group clear the field on their own.

Bill and Billy Greenwald came out with their setter, Justice and friend Zack Kolnsberg for an upland bird hunt.  I set some pheasant, chukar and quail coveys around the Cabin Field. Justice did a nice job finding the birds and Zack was able to knock down a few with Bill and Billy backing him up.

Brad Shoults and Randy Rehkop, brought their dogs, Bud and Ellie for a quail hunt.  I set some quail around the Tinkerfarm Field and got out there to record one rise.  Good dog work they had a nice day in the field.

Kevin and Tommy Diekroeger sent last year out with a bang, with a two day quail hunt.  Kevin brought his pair of dogs, Ina and Penny and Tommy brought out his Brittany, Abby to find the birds.  The first afternoon they hunted some coveys around the Cabin Field timber finger, lots of good wood shooting.  I missed completely with Kevin’s new gun and its sticky safety (that’s my excuse).  The next morning I put a bunch of coveys around the Tinkerfarm Pond.  They had a long morning knocking them around the prairie, timber and fencerows, but came back only lacking one out of 30.
