Re: Phinding Phee Pheasants 4 Phriends.....
Four hunter 2 lab pups and an old point went down to DK Wildlife yesterday on our hunt. We put down 10 pheasants and 10 chukars. They say they release birds, not plant them. We put up all of the birds plus a few extra pheasants. We did not kill all of the birds, but that is why it is called hunting and not killing. DK has a nice place down near Holley. They raise their own birds and are good fliers. If you allow them, they will get up high and sail a long ways. We had birds do it all. Fly through the trees so we could not get a good shot. Most birds held tight. Some birds ran, and a couple flushed wild. I think that had something to do with a pup chasing a couple of cotton tales out front. They said they have about a 65% kill rate. We saw at least 13 extra pheasants on or around the property. When we drove in there were 5 birds standing along side the road. They release the birds after you arrive, so you have to wait, they said by next weekend they will have a couple of trap machines set-up to throw some clays while you wait. All of the chukars held tight and provide some extra shooting. Cost is typical for birds, but the drive from the lower valley is much better. It is about 80 miles from Woodburn. I hunted one of the two fields they have set-up. Cover was sparse due to the recent cold weather, but the birds still found plenty of cover to conceal themselves. Jo and George also offer guided hunts with poodle pointers if that is your wish.
