I have never done any hunting before. Can you help me get started?
- This is one of my favorite things to do. We have all of the equipment you need and since you don't need a hunting license on our preserve, all you have to do is call and make an appointment. We start out with basic gun safety, an intro to clay target shooting and then move onto bird hunting.

How far out should I reserve my hunt?
- This depends on the time of year. Since we are open 7 days a week we have more options. Prime fall dates book early, so as soon as you have a date in mind, give me a call.

You have 2 hour hunts for 2 and 4 hour hunts listed, there are only 2 of us but we would like to hunt for 4 hours?
- Our hunts are priced according to bird packages. The 2 and 4 hour hunt times are really just a rough idea of how long the hunts will last. You can easily do a 2 hour hunt for 3 people
