Chris- I wanted to thank you again for the great hunt. I have been hunting upland birds for 25 years, from Quail Hunts in West Texas to chasing Huns in Canada and everything in between. The hunt you provided is right near the top. There was plenty of cover and plenty of birds. Rest assured that we will be back. It was so refreshing to find a place that caters to true bird hunters. I was looking for a place to hunt wild birds. I didn't want someone to dress my birds, someone to cook my supper, or wait on me like I was at the Hyatt. I wanted a good place to hunt, No More No Less. That is what you provided with U-Guide. Thanks again for everything. Jeff - Kansas
Chris - We had a really good weekend. Hunting wild birds is very exciting. The first field we walked on had close to 40 birds jump out on us. I will give you copies of a couple pictures we took along with a reference sometime soon. I am also trying to put together a group again for next year. Thanks again for your help and I look forward to working with you again. Rich - Minnesota
Chris - Wanted to let you know that we had a great time on our hunt. It was everything that we expected and more. I am not a meat hunter and we enjoyed our experience there very much. We saw many deer, both Muleys and Whitetail and enjoyed watching two bucks fighting in a field. Saw two badgers (a first for me). My son-in-law shot his first pheasant. My son got several sharptails - saw quite a few. My prize was a fully mature, male prarie chicken (another first for me) which is now at the taxidermist - could not find a single mark where it was hit - maybe a heart attack. The hosts were very cordial and provided us with a nice map so we knew exactly where we could hunt. The house was super clean and had everything we could want. Jim - Illinois
Chris - Wanted to give you a report on our trip. Still lots of birds. Limited out on Roosters all 3 days, but we had to work for them. 5 Sharpies the last day and 1 Hun. We had a great time. Jason showed us the property and left us alone. Perfect setup for 3 people. Lodging is outstanding. Weather was perfect. Randy - Kansas
Chris - The guys from last year all agree that Pheasant Camp is our place to hunt from now on. As Milo told you before, we have been looking for a place to do a pheasant hunt every year and we have found that place at Pheasant Camp. Thanks for the good hunt and feel free to use me as a reference anytime. Milo and I plan to do this hunt until we cant walk anymore and then we hope our sons will take us. I had my oldest son with me this year and plan to take both sons next year. Milo plans to do the same with his two boys. I can tell you that the second week at pheasant camp will be booked by us for a long, long time. The accommodations were perfect, nothing needs to be added. The hunt was good also. All in all, it was a huge improvement over last year. Thanks again, Tom - Alabama
Hi Chris - We did pretty well. There were nine hunters including the two kids and we shot 27 (limit) on both Friday and Saturday and 6 on Sunday when we only hunted until noon. We shot a total 60 birds for the entire weekend and everyone seemed happy so I would call it a success. Thanks - Patrick - Iowa
Chris- My group had a great hunt on opening weekend. Although we did not limit out on day 1 and day 2, we did limit out on day 3. The problem wasn't with the ground to hunt but hunters shooting and knowing how to cover the ground. We would like to reserve Choteau Creek again for next year opening weekend for 6 hunters. Thanks - Gene - Kansas
Chris, I wanted to take a minute and thank you for the fabulous hunt we experienced this past November at your Choteau Creek location. As you already know we have rebooked for the same week in 2008. I've hunted pheasants for over 35 years in several different states but I had never been to South Dakota before. Our expectations were high but we never expected to see this many birds. I understand that 2007 was a record year for SD pheasant populations and based on what we saw this had to be the case. It took us about half a day to decide how to best hunt the large fields and flush the birds in gun range with only 6 hunters but after some trial and error we got it figured out. I had my 2 young Brittany's with me and they had more solid bird work in 3 days than they will get in a whole season in PA. This was the perfect place to work young dogs since there were so many birds. If they made a mistake, they were going to get another chance in just a few minutes. By the end of the first day both dogs were just rock solid. The lessons learned out there have stuck with them and I have had several chances to show them off since returning home. The food plots and CRP mixed in with the normal crops make for great covers and provided several different types on hunting opportunities on the same property. Staying in the old homestead farmhouse was the next best part of the trip. It was set up perfect for a hunting group and added a real homey feel to our trip. Our host Vern could not have been more accommodating and he even let us win at cards each evening after dinner. For a group of experienced hunters with their own dogs this is the perfect hunting situation and we preferred it over any fancy lodge or shooting preserve we have hunted in the past. I look forward to future hunts. Thanks again - Jim - Pennsylvania
"Chris, Thanks for a wonderful hunt. My three brothers and I had a great time. It was just what we had hoped for, plenty of birds and good cover to hunt, and not another hunter in sight. We did hunt the Century farm the third day, with good success. Most of the birds were around the two homesteads and in standing corn on his brothers place. We had wonderful hosts and the accommodations worked out great. I do not equate the success of hunt to the number of birds killed, the overall experience is more important. We really enjoyed being our own guides. The maps you provided we accurate and we did not have any trouble finding our way around. The opportunity to be out on a beautiful fall day hunting with my 15 year old daughter and my three brothers and there sons was priceless. We have some great memories to share because of it. I look forward to doing it again." Mark - Utah
"Chris, My hunting party and I had a wonderful time at your property southwest of Mitchell, SD. The lodge was everything you had said and more. The facility was roomy and we all felt very comfortable and at home. The hosts were hospitable and were very helpful with the layout of the farms. My group limited out two of the three days and should have shot our limit all three days. We saw several hundred birds each day with all types of hunting conditions. All six people from my hunting party will be back to hunt with you again next year. Thank you for a superb hunt." Jim - Newburgh, IN
"Chris - What a hunt! We had a great time. The birds made us work but they were out there. We limited out on pheasant everyday! We seen groups of over 50 roosters at a time. I took 1 pheasant home to stuff with a 32" tail feather. Our Host Ron & Debbie. You felt like you new them all your life! Great folks! The accommodations were comfortable clean. Everything you might need plus more. They put work into making sure we were comfortable. October could be my new favorite month. Good people, lots of pheasants(grouse were fun too) and the World Series all at the same time. Thanks Jeff California
"Chris just wanted to drop you an update on how the rest of our hunting trip went. We all agreed it was the best pheasant hunt we have ever had. We saw so many birds and missed so many birds it was unbelievable, but when all was said and done we were with 52 ring necks. Joe and Donna were great host, we enjoyed our stay at Century Farms. I look forward to doing it again." Thanks Again, Joe - Indiana
