I am trying to keep the costs down, so I think I can do it for around 35.00 a hunter. Safety is always a concern, on the hunt, but young hunters with adults up to the age of 15, can hunt for free.....
I do not want non hunter children, because this is a hunt, and safety is always maintained

The birds over here at the pheasant farms are already depleted, usually last up to Mar. but apparently the cost to go out west and the weather have increase the demand for the local shoots. The pheasant grower by Medford that raise about 700K that good amount goes to South Dakota to the ranches which I read that 60% of S.D. pheasants are farm raised, thought that was interesting.

Bow hunting for birds? This sounds fun but a little nervous about lost arrows and the next guys dog finding them on a run?

It does sound fun, and extremely challenging. I was just imagining I'd lose more arrows than I owned. What do you use for a head? Those wide spring looking small game heads from fleet farm I can never get to fly the same way twice.

I used a field point with a washer behind it.
Some guys had broadheads (the flu flu will stop pass through) but I'd be hesitant to use broadheads if guys are using dogs.
From: ground hunter

No broadheads,,,,,,, that to me, with 30 archers, and some dogs, can be a safety issue,,,,, I use the judo point, and the small game head from G5, but I see all kinds of stuff, archers come up with
I just say no broadheads, because of dogs,,,, we usually do not have many dogs, but it would only take one,,,,,,

Thanks everyone for coming out today,,, although cold, with little wind and lots of sun the birds did fly great,,,,,,, there were some real shooters their today.....
Glad everyone liked the smoked pork, hope you got enough to eat,,,,,,,,
Only mishap, was Tweed had one of his bows blow up today on the inside range, that was too bad.......
If you lost any Flu Flus' we will collect them, and they will be at our club,,,,, if your out of the area, just describe them to me, we will make our best effort to get them back to you,,,,,
Our club thanks you for the support

The food was good, the cold was ok, the wind was ok but the buck thorn was miserable.

Thanks Mike,
We had a great time and the food was excellent. I have about a dozen Flu Flu's out there with one red or yellow stripe of tape. If its not a problem you can just hang on to them until next year if you find any.
