The experience

How a hunt works

A straightforward guided day. Here's what to expect, from booking to the drive home.

  1. Young pines and heavy cover — quail country.

    Pick your package

    Choose a half- or full-day Georgia Giant quail hunt, a quail & pheasant combo, or a spot in the Annual Pheasant Tower Shoot. Every quail hunt is 6 guns max.

  2. Bobwhite in the flight pen.

    Book a date

    Weekend dates are open to the public. Weekday dates are reserved for approved corporate members. A 50% deposit is taken at booking; the remaining 50% is due two weeks before the hunt. All bookings are pending until the calendar date is verified.

  3. The morning's limit laid across the tailgate.

    Show up ready

    We hunt at two south-Alabama preserves: Mason Hill Preserve (11652 Wheatcroft Road North, Grand Bay, AL 36541) and Deep Woods Preserve (Deep Woods Rd off Hwy 31, Bay Minette, AL). You pick the preserve when you book. Bring your shotgun, shells, hunting license, and appropriate clothing — we cover the rest (birds, dogs, guide, lunch, and snacks on full-day hunts).

  4. Easing in behind the pointer.

    Hunt the field

    Half-day hunts run about four hours; full-day hunts run about eight. We walk the preserve with Bella and Birdie out ahead. Pace is yours.

  5. Group photo with the pointers and the day's bag.

    Clean birds, head home

    Claimed birds are cleaned and packaged for you. You're welcome to take and clean your birds yourself if you prefer.

What to bring

  • Shotgun (gauge of your choice)
  • Shells appropriate for quail/pheasant
  • Valid hunting license (state requirement)
  • Boots and field-appropriate clothing
  • Eye and ear protection
  • Water and a snack

Weather

Severe rain with thunder and lightning may cause a delayed start time or a reschedule. Light rain will not delay hunting.

Gratuity

Gratuity is not included in the booking. Assistants help with dogs, ammunition, gear, and bird cleaning — please show appreciation if you're happy with the day.

Waivers

Every participant signs a waiver at arrival. Read it in advance on the waivers page so we can get straight to the field.

Cancellation policy

Cancellations must be made 30 days prior to the booking for the deposit to be refunded. Cancellations after 30 days will be offered an alternate date. If an alternate date cannot be arranged, the deposit will be forfeited.
