West River Adventures Pheasant Camp Reviews
"Chris, just wanted to fill you in on another great experienc..."
Chris, just wanted to fill you in on another great experience at a UGUIDE camp. Our opening weekend hunt at the West River property left absolutely nothing to be desired. I must admit that I was a bit concerned about the number of birds we would see after reading the survey reports from the Game, Fish and Parks and realizing that all of the crops were still in the fields due to the recent wet conditions. Those fears were quickly put aside as we saw hundreds of birds each of our three days of hunting at West River. Our 13 man group downed our allotted 39 birds each day despite the difficult hunting conditions (VERY wet and quite windy). During our return trip home, members of our group talked to a lot of different hunters and we heard very few stories of hunters bagging their daily limits - much less downing 13 man limits for 3 straight days! The hosts were fantastic. They joined us for dinner at the lodge the first night we were there and immediately fell right in with the group, getting to know everybody and telling us tales that had us all in stitches until fairly late in the evening. As for accommodations, the lodge was just right. There was ample room for our entire group (and would have been ample room for several more, if we had them), everybody had their own bed, the kitchen was large and well stocked (we cooked breakfast and dinner at the lodge each day we were there), the dog kennel area was perfect for our pack of Vizsla's and GSP's, and the recent renovations Ron made to the lodge worked out really well. We all had nothing but positive memories to reflect on during our respective drives back to Louisiana and Texas. As evidence of that, our entire group has informed me that they would like to re-book, so count us in for Week 1 next year and, hopefully, for many years to come.
