Upland Bird & Waterfowl Hunts 
Located on the western edge of the Central Flyway, our main lease is home to numerous Hungarian partridge coveys, as well as a stable population of sharptail grouse, turkeys, some ruffed grouse, and a smaller population of pheasants.   Sandhill cranes, mallards, and Canada geese arrive in April and stay into fall.  Late in September, thousands of northern ducks and geese begin to stop over on their way south.  This migration intensifies into the middle of November.

The primary lease is close to 20,000 acres of river bottom, creek bottom, hayfields, prairie pasture, foothill benches, and grainfields.  This varied habitat provides ideal nesting, feeding, and roosting cover.  About 7,000 acres of grain are harvested every year, providing a great resting and feeding stop for migrating waterfowl.

Our guides are serious bird hunters who work year-round with their dogs.  You are accommodated in comfort at our large lodge.  Home-cooked meals are prepared fresh at the lodge every day.  Fishing, varmint shooting, and big game watching are popular activities to fill in spare hours when you’re not bird hunting.
