How did you make out?
Could you elaborate a little more about your experience at Bent Creek?
I hunt near there and it's pretty close to where I live....been wondering if the hunts are any good, the pricing seems pretty reasonable.
Also - how much did you tip your guide(s) - if you dont mind me asking? How does that work? Did you get a guide with a dog?
Been thinking about booking a trip there for a a while...there's still time for one more hunt this year. Anything you could share would be appreciated.
Thanks -

Hey fellow Barners,

I have been kicking this idea of a pheasant hunt around for the last few weeks. I was hoping it would serve several purposes for our small (growing) hunting community.

1. We can get to meet each other and put faces to the names.

2. We can introduce some new or young hunters to pheasant hunting.

3 We can enjoy some late season pheasant hunting together for a reasonable price.

I have been talking with Game Creek in Woodstown about what we may be able to do. They were quite accomodating and worked out a pretty sweet deal for a full day of pheasant hunting. This event will be for a group of 16 hunters. If we have a good response we can double that number and split into two groups.

In the AM there will be a European style pheasant shoot. This is not a tower shoot. More like pass shooting birds coming through the treetops. This will be an 80 bird shoot. Then break for lunch.

Game Creek will be providing a sit down lunch for us in the clubhouse.

In the PM we will break into groups of 4 for the afternoon hunt. You can use your own dog or you can use a guide and dog provided by Game Creek for $50.00 (+tip). The groups will go out and hunt over the dogs for 4 stocked birds per hunter. Each group of four will be in a different field.

All you will need is:
NJ Hunting license, (No stamp needed on semi wild preserves)
Proper hunter orange garments
Gun and plenty of shells
$175.00

This is a special price for this event that is usually reserved for members. A full day of hunting with a lunch included at a private hunting preserve for $175.00 is a great price gang. The price is set per hunter. If you have a young hunter and don't care to shoot. You just pay for one hunter.

This is a perfect way to introduce a young or new hunter to this sport. Plenty of birds, no hastles of the WMA's, good cover for the birds, good dogs, and of course the memories that will last a lifetime. You can even get cleaned birds to take home for a small cleaning fee.

The first 16 people to contact me are in. If there is a big response I will form two groups and they will just flip flop the am / pm hunts. One group in the fields while the other is doing the euro shoot then switch after lunch. Game Creek is holding the date (2/28) for me so I need to let them know ASAP how many people will be attending.

If you have a foursome let me know and we will keep you together. If you have your own dog that is great. Let me know if you need a professional guide and dog. I'll make sure it is set up for you.

I'm sure some of you will have questions or suggestions. Post them here and I'll get back to you.

Don't jerk me around! If you KNOW you are in then tell me. I'll confirm your spot and count you in. Don't back out at the last minute and leave me hanging. I'd like to see BB members and thier family first on the list.

I hope to hear from you soon
