FALL 2007 NEWSLETTER

Hello Hunters and Friends,

Welcome to the 2007-2008 bird hunting season. We look forward to your visits to our hunting fields this coming season.

September Special Hunts
The 2007-2008 hunting season opens September 3rd. We will again feature our special rate for bird dog owners at 5 pheasants wild released for $100 per shooter, morning hunts only. Call today to take advantage of our early season special. Hunt September 3rd to 30th at this special rate.

The Cover
It has been a fairly dry growing season here but our fields are in good shape. Once again Hillendale has been selected as the site for several AKC sanctioned Springer Spanial field trials. Our excellent cover maintained on all 400 acres and our excellent high flying ringnecks are frequently sighted as reasons by field tial committees..

Shot Size Regulations
In an effort to reduce cripples we will continue to require upland bird hunting to be done with shot size no smaller than #6 in all shotguns. For upland bird hunting we recommend 12 gauge guns with Hi Brass shells (Example: 3 3/4 grams, 1 1/4 oz., #5 shot). For duck hunts we will require shot size no smaller than #2 steel.

Good Hunting,
Tom and Pam
