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

I just called them and they do allow hunters to bring their dogs. Woo hoo!!

Is a 16 ga considered too large of a bore ? Kind of like to try a new gun but if the rule is 20 or 28 ga I'll follow that too.....

[C.O.B.]

I'll probably take the Venebles 16ga hammer gun so bring the Wesley Richards. What I think is frowned on is the auto 12ga. Bring your 28 skeet gun as well.

OK, I admit I'm out of touch with hunting prices but that seems scaldingly high. $750/day and your old lady doesn't even get to sleep in a bed? By the time you get with airport pickup, license, 'gratuity', and all the rest you'd probably be dropping $900/day. I just don't see the value in a $900/day quail hunt especially if you happened to have a teenage son or two who you were trying to involve.

What the heck does that mean??
This is all inclusive and a real bargain at $750/day to include meals, lodging, guide,dogs, staff, beverages etc. Is a $40,0000 DHE 28 a bargain? It is if you want one and have the $40K.

This is 2014 and nothing is the way it was. You can hunt birds just as effectively with a $500 Remington 870 as you can with a $10,000 Parker. Does that mean you don't see the value in the Parker? I'm sorry you don't see the value in this and are more than welcome to stay home.

Rich, at 750.00/day all inclusive, this is a real good deal. The least expensive I found before you mention this was 950.00/day all inclusive but only 12 birds per day. Anything over that was an extra 7.50/bird.
