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?

Try not to step on their tails before they flush and don't let your dog catch em. :tup:

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.

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.
