Other Suggestions
Good footwear! We can't stress enough that your boots will make or break your trip. A good pair of hunting boots can cost some money, but will be your best investment! Pheasant hunting means lots of walking so it's essential you have good fitting boots. Gore Tex or other water proof material is also highly recommended for keeping your feet dry.
Clothing: Bring clothing for all weather conditions! One day you may be in a T shirt, the next day you could be wearing rain gear and the next your heavy clothes! Be prepared!
If you have physical limitations or special needs, please discuss this with us. We will do everything possible to accommodate your hunt. Our hunting style can vary for each group.
Bring plenty of shells! Regular size shot #4, #5, or #6 is enough shell for our type of hunting.
Following the pheasant hunting safety overview requirements and suggestions mentioned above will make for a fun, safe and enjoyable hunt. A safe hunt is a great hunt!
