Just booked our first hunt - excited to get out there.

For those of you that have been - any tips?

Don't miss?  :chuckle:

Very cool place, I've been three times. They even offer a place to clean your birds. The last time we went we missed a dew birds and were able to walk around and look for other birds to fill what we had paid foe. Out if curiosity what birds are you going for?

Just got done - 7 hens!

We killed 2. 1 dud round, 1 forgot to take off safe, 1 unsafe shot, 1 where the dog flushed and didn't point, and 1 not found.

Overall a great day. By the tail end the pup was pointing well and releasing on command.

I have been a member for two years and I got mp GWP there last year. He is being trained now there by Doug. Great place to train dogs and kids to hunt. Doug and Alice are top notch and having the bird cleaning and dog washing facilities are a nice convenience.

I agree. That dog washing station is awesome!  I did not expect it to be as nice as it was.

Doug & Alice run a good operation. Great way to shake the rust off and do some good dog training.
