You aren't paying for the quail hunting. At that rate you are paying for the difference between staying at a Quality Inn and The W Hotel, which is fine as many people have their wives along and enjoy the service and pampering. I can hunt at a place not too far outside of Atlanta for $8/bird. Nostalgic? Hell no, but it gives my dog a little work. I frankly do not know the difference, as I've been too scared to stay at a place like that, if only to avoid deciding that I enjoy the high life. Sounds like a heckuva nice weekend with good folks.

I have done a couple of these type hunts and it is a memorable experience. I haven't done one in well over 20 years however and wanted to go at least one more time. It's the atmosphere (IMHO) that your paying for, Mule drawn wagons, hunt master who is in charge of the dogs and the hunt, the Southern hospitality and everything that goes with it. It's like stepping back in time for a few days.

That's what I would like to experience and this is as close as I'm going to get.
Rich, can we bring our dogs? My boy Nash would kill me if he knew I went hunting with out him

Angel you would have to check with them but I would doubt it. In the past the plantantions use their own dogs and handlers. I know what you mean as Daisy goes nuts whenever I go into the gun room. She hasn't learned the difference between targets and hunting seasons but gunner never did figure it out either, they just know guns
