WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER FOR YOU , YOUR GUESTS, AND MOST IMPORTANT YOUR DOGS!
Here is the bottom line. We buy most of our birds and the margin is thin. For the Boss, (wife) to put up with this we must sell at least 10 birds a hunt/day. You can book a hunt with a great competitor in the area and the cost is going to be between $45 to $50 per rooster pheasant (depending on volume) and $35 to $40 per hen pheasant (guide fees are extra). These are fair prices and as I stated before these are class operations.
We charge $45.00 to $50 for Roosters and $35.00 to $40.00 for hens because we cannot afford to charge less. However, our packages offer something extra. We are going to make sure you have a great time. We are going to ensure that every member of your group has a great time. If you do not, you do not pay.
We have the best cover in the industry, and we pride ourselves on putting a hunt together for you that is as close to the “wild bird hunt” you desire.
If you need an extra gun, we have it. If your dog is not on his game, we have one to loan you. Tracking or training collar not working? We have one. If you have a problem with the performance of your dog, we will evaluate it. We help you clean your birds. We make sure the coffee is hot. We will make sure young hunters make memories.
We will offer 2 different PUNCH CARDS this season. One is for 50 roosters, the other for 30 roosters and 30 hens in each package. 10 bird minimum release. Call us for pricing, they are good for one calendar year unless otherwise stated.

40 quail are released as multiple coveys. You will have exclusive use of a hunting area. You may return to the headquarters at any time and take a break or have lunch and resume your hunt. If you encounter birds other than quail, you may harvest them. If there are holdover quail from previous hunts you may harvest them.
A word about our guides and dogs:
Our guides are hunters. The dogs they often compete in National Shoot to Retrieve Association field trials and/or American Kennel Club and/or American Field walking trials.
These are hard charging dogs. They may work 400-500 yards in front of you, but they will find birds and they will hold birds.
The tendency for hunters, who are not accustomed to this sort of dog work, is to get nervous and rush to the dog. The guide will tell you when you might need to hurry but there is NEVER any running in the bird field.
Even the best dogs make mistakes. If a dog is bumping or blowing birds out of the field, we will make it right.

Dog evaluation:
When we have booked hunts, we can schedule a time to evaluate your bird dog. Bring your dog out and we will set up situations to see what your dog can do and where it might need a “tune-up.”
You pay only for the birds used in the valuation.
Classes:
We offer a bird hunting class. This class consists of four sessions and is held over three months. It starts with an evaluation of you and your dog (if you have one). The first session is held in Republic, Washington at the start of the grouse season.
During the first session you and a partner, spouse, child or hunting partner, will evaluate your shooting, dog and other aspects of upland hunting. You will hunt grouse and learn about upland game bird hunting opportunities in Washington. Subsequent sessions will be designed to provide field experiences to hunt quail, pheasant, chukar and Hungarian partridge.
The cost to attend this class is $5,000 per couple. Enrollment is limited to 6 couples. Each group will have four weekend field experiences.
PUPS AND TRAINED BIRD DOGS
From time to time we might have a great bird dog pup prospect not already spoken for so it might be available to become the new bird dog in your home.
We also have started and trained dogs available for sale, and we network with people that do. Nothing beats trying out a bird dog doing the real deal (or thing.)!
HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE WITH US, SOON!
