Rates & Packages

Full Day Corporate or Group Hunt & Event

All group events are split into two time blocks with lunch in the middle:
8:00 AM–11:00 AM and 1:00 PM–4:00 PM.

If booking the full package, the pheasant hunt can be in the morning or afternoon, with the shooting event at the opposite time.

Group Package Pricing

All hunting packages include pheasant hunt, bird cleaning, catered lunch with drinks (no alcohol during events), and a shooting event at the sports shooting complex. Events can be competitions and/or trainings tailored to your group’s goals. Firearms and ammo for the shooting complex are provided at no additional cost. Hunters supply their own ammunition for the pheasant hunt.

Group Event Options

• Sporting clays

• Bunker Trap shoot

• Rim-fire steel course

• Five stand shotgun shoot

• Pistol tactical shooting

• Long-range rifle demonstration/shoot

In some cases, prairie dog hunting may be available for members of corporate/group hunts.

Half-Day Pheasant Hunting

• $50 per bird, 25-bird minimum per day

• Good for up to 5 hunters

• Each additional person requires purchasing at least 5 additional birds

Tips are optional. Lunch, bird cleaning, and shooting-complex events are not included for half-day hunts.

At this time we are not set up for solo or very small hunts below the 25-bird minimum.

If you want to hunt the whole day, additional birds must be purchased. We encourage a half-day hunt and spending the remaining time at the shooting range on your own.

We do have native grouse and partridge on the ranch; these may be taken on any hunt at no additional cost, in accordance with state limits.
