The Upland Game birds we hunt at Shenandoah are Quail and
Pheasant.
Quail hunts:
Our Quail hunts provide an excellent staff of guides and outstanding
dogs for your day afield. At both our properties we utilize early
release Quail programs as well as an aggressive management of habitat
for wild Quail.
|
Our Day Quail Hunts generally begin around 9 am CST. Hunters will load
into the Jeep or wagon and proceed
through the property on a hunting
course. The
terrain is varied with rolling hills, fields and bottoms.
The hunters will break for lunch around 12 noon and go to the
main house
or
lodge for a hot Southern meal. The afternoon hunt begins around 1 and ends around 4 pm.

Our Overnight hunters generally arrive late on the afternoon before the hunt
and settle into the lodge. A hot Southern meal is served for dinner that
evening at whatever time is arranged by the Quail hunters and their
host. A breakfast of eggs, bacon and the works is generally served the
following morning at 8am CST. The
hunters will load into the jeep or wagon and proceed through the
property on a hunting course. The
hunters will break for lunch around 12 noon and go to the lodge for
sandwiches or a light lunch.The
afternoon hunt begins around 1pm and ends around 4pm.

We offer Quail hunts
in a variety of styles from walk style hunting of short term released
birds, to hunting early release birds from our customized jeeps, to
hunting off horse back. You choose the style hunt you want. We use both
English Setter and English Pointer Birddogs with Labrador and Boykin
Spaniel Retrievers as flushing dogs and to find downed quail.
Customized
Jeep Hunts: Our Jeeps are set up to handle up to 6
hunters; however, hunts can be conducted for two, four
or six shooters per party, although only two hunters
will shoot on any covey rise. These hunts can be
scheduled for overnight
or just day
hunts.
Horse
Back Hunts: We require a minimum of four hunters for
our hunts by horseback. In addition to the dog handler
and his scout, a third guide  will
drive the dog wagon so that fresh dogs should be
available through out your hunt. These hunts can cover
more territory than the jeep hunts and generally require
more acres in the course. Our second
property which we call "Cross Keys" is a beautiful
4000 acres of quail hunting habitat. All lodging will
still be at our Shenandoah
facility. |

Pheasant Hunting:
We are conducting a limited number of scheduled
“Tower” or “Continental” Pheasant shoots at Shenandoah, however
we can generally schedule a private shoot for your group anytime during
the season, please call to inquire. Our field is setup with 15 stands
and we do shoots with either one or two shooters per station. Shoots can
be conducted throwing from 200 birds to
500 birds.
