Shaun and Dustin Lance came out with Brian Clark on Thanksgiving morning for a pheasant hunt.  The wet field had the pheasants moving around, but Remmington and Skeeter tracked them down and with nice quick shooting they came back with most.

Jud Wilkins set up a hunt for a bunch of his family and friends, Hunter, Colton, and Sidney Wilkins, Richard and Andra Malone, and Cole Armstrong.  I filled the Clubhouse Field and pasture with birds and Jud got his setter, Bama and German shorthair, Preacher out to find the birds.  Lots of fun and some good shooting.  Not sure how some chukar got away, but they made up for a lost double, when they nail all the chukar on a three bird rise and the rooster pheasant that got flushed as the last chukar fell.

Rich and Richard Berry came out for a pre-Thanksgiving upland bird hunt.  Greg Ireland came out with Daisy to do the guiding.  The wet weather kept the pheasants running, the chukars stayed paired up and ready to fly and the quail hid as well as they could from the water drops and pellets.  Daisy found them all and there was a lot of action for the hunters.

John Fair brought out his Brittany, Gunner for a warm up pheasant and chukar hunt.  I set out some birds in the East Bottom Field and John and Gunner set out to find them.  The pheasants wanted to run in the dreary, wet weather, but Gunner found them all plus 1 along with some bonus quail.  

Joe Lawson set up a pheasant and chukar hunt for his son, Tim and son-in-law Doug Forbes. I filled the Clubhouse Field with birds and got Doo and Curly out of the kennel to hunt them up. They picked a rainy day, so the pheasants were on the run, but between all the dogs we found all the birds and came back with most.

I fell in love with performance hoodies after Hannah gave me one for Christmas last year.  So this season I ordered some Sandy Run Hoodies made with the performance polyester material.  These hoodies are great wind breakers and the fleece interior is incredibly comfortable.  Take a look and order yours today.

Sandy Run will have it’s next Continental Pheasant Shoot on Saturday January, 21st.  Get signed up soon to make sure you get your spot reserved.

Randy Perkins came out to run his dog Jesse for the second day in a row.  His Dad, Gene and wife, Jody came along to help with the dog work and harvest.  I set out a few single quail and we worked with Jesse on her steadiness on point.  I even got to try out Randy’s new Bennelli Ethos, shoots nice.  Then on to some quail and chukar sets in the Clubhouse Field.  Fun afternoon in the field.

Nick Ramsey and Carlos West came out for a pheasant hunt with their dogs, Jasmine, German Shorthair and Tina, a Vizsla.  I scattered some pheasant in the Clubhouse field and the quartet set out.  I was able to capture the first couple of rises with the GoPro, both successful.  They had a good time chasing the most uncooperative birds through the thick cover.

Dr. Jerry Fortuna brought out his father, Jerry for an upland bird hunt and to get his two dogs on some birds. Jackson, German Shorthair and Cooper, Vizsla, found the pheasant, chukar and quail I set out in the Cabin Field. The dogs did a nice job finding the birds in the thick milo and foxtail and the hunters only left a few for the next hunters.
