UPLAND BIRD HUNTING
Come experience the excitement of hunting Ringneck Pheasants and Chukar Partridge. Avoid driving hundreds of miles only to be disappointed by the lack of birds or "NO TRESPASSING" signs.
We provide a variety of hunting areas that will suit all levels of hunters. Hunt upland game birds in fence rows, open fields, green meadows, or wooded creek bottoms.
We are a Class A licensed upland bird hunting preserves. Licensed by the New York State DEC. This entitles you to hunt on our property without a Small Game License when hunting upland birds.
Quail Hunts
Quail may be purchased upon request. All hunters with their own dogs will be allowed to hunt quail. Quail must be ordered in advance. Three hunters maximum with only two hunters shooting per covey. This rule is put into effect to protect all parties in the field.
Hunt Times
Hunters must be present at least 45 minutes prior to the hunt. Three hunts per day will be held during the months of September, October, and March. The Morning, Mid-Morning, and Late Afternoon hunts may last longer due to increased amount of birds.

SPORTING CLAYS
|
As legend has it, we have been told that John Kruger laid out our original sporting clay course. The course is cut out of the hillside and is very unique in comparison to any other course that we have found. Rick Gray has redesigned the course and has added electric traps and remote control throwers. We have redesigned the course and added electric traps and removed control throwers.
Although the course is constantly a work in progress, we are confident that our layout offers our clients the finest shotgun shooting experience around. The design is friendly to beginners and will also challenge more experienced shooters.
We welcome single shooters, small groups and larger groups or clubs and corporate outings. We will be holding competitive shoots in the near future. We also offer shooting instruction by appointment.
Five Stand
We have added a five stand course to our facility. This has proven to be a favorite with our guests. The field is made up of eight electronic traps. This course offers an excellent warm up for upland bird hunting or sporting clays. We will be lighting the course for night shooting in the near future.
Tower Shoots
We have constructed a new tower for tower shoots. We will be holding tower shoots once a month (September through March) that will include a barbecue lunch. All are welcome to join in.
We will also be happy to arrange a tower shoot for your hunting group. Please contact us and we will be happy to put a package together for you.
Shooting Instruction/Schools
Catskill Pheasantry offers two-day shooting schools throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall at our premier shotgun shooting facility. Private instruction is available year round.

GUNDOG MEMBERSHIPS
|
Hunters with their own dogs are able to buy their birds in advance at a savings. This entitles you to hunt at your own pace. You are also able to put the birds out for training purposes. No time limit on your hunt if the field is not being used after you. As a member you are entitled to run your dog on our property during the off-season. During the week you are always able to hunt without time limits. Dog trainers are always on hand to assist you.
Gun Dog Training
We will be happy to evaluate your dog. We will offer one on one training at our gun dog training facility.
This program is for the owner who would like to train his own dog or may find it hard to part with the dog while the dog is trained at our facility. During this program not only does the dog get trained but the owner will also benefit.
We also offer a more intense training program. Your dog will stay with us for whatever time frame that your dog will need for training. We will agree on a time after the dog is evaluated. All dogs are different and have special needs. Each dog will learn at its own pace and cannot be rushed. If you are looking for a finished well trained dog you must be patient and go at the dogs pace.
Gun Dog Training Seminars
We offer individual and group seminars for those who are interested in learning how to train a gun dog. We will be happy to schedule a private or group seminar for you. We will also travel to your club and give gun dog training seminars. Please contact us for further information.
