Your Choice Of Hunting Lodge Is Crucial

1. Your Choice Of Hunting Lodge Is Crucial Millions of Americans feel passionate about hunting. Some hunt elk or deer, or other game, whereas others prefer the excitement that often goes with wing-shooting. That is why choosing a luxury pheasant hunting lodge in, for example, Idaho, is high up on their agenda. Of course, the same would be true for other preferences. Pheasant hunters, as much as those who set out to shoot chukar and other upland birds, look forward to their annual visit to the lodge of their choice. For some, it could be somewhere in the South, while others swear by regions such as, say, Idaho, or Wyoming. BACKGROUND The ring-necked pheasant has been around in regions such as Idaho since the late 19th/early 20thcentury and these days is found in virtually every county. Some regions such as the area around Driggs, for example, have become popular with shooters looking for not only quality birds but also a great lodge. Luxury pheasant hunting lodges are, therefore, high up on the priority list for some shooters as they come for the shoot, hoping to leave with quality birds, birds whose white meat is tender and tastes not unlike chicken, but also the memories made at a great hunting facility. HABITAT Pheasants are often found on agricultural land – therefore farmland, often on working farms, or farms that used to be working farms and may now be top lodges where the emphasis is on hunting and shooting. Pheasants, once you understand their nature, can be looked for in cover where they find it easy to rear their brood, and where they have access to both summer and winter food – therefore habitat that suits their nature and needs. They thrive on insects, grasses, roots, seeds, grains, nuts and wild fruits. You will find them in grasslands near grainfields, for example. This is important knowledge for the shooter who wants to book a trip to a leading hunting lodge where they do not mind paying good money, but for quality: quality birds, quality food and accommodation for them and their party – in other words, a facility that can compete with the best. That is, after all, what aluxury pheasant hunting lodge should provide. The above gives a good indication for the shooter looking for the ideal destination of what to consider when they start their planning THE HUNT Pheasant hunting at leading Idaho lodges such as, say, Lazy Triple Creek Ranch and other comparable facilities, offers the shooter options. Some enjoy a walkup, while others are keen to experience what a European style driven shooting with so-called Western sensibilities, (described after the Intermountain West of, for example, southern Idaho and nearby western Wyoming among the regions where the description is used.) is about. The season normally is September through November to aid the shooter in their planning and making a booking at a good lodge.

2. DRIVEN-STYLE SHOOTING The overhead-driven pheasant shoot used to be limited to shoots in Europe, but is now also offered at leading hunting lodges such as the above-mentioned Lazy Triple Creek Ranch. As opposed to simply walking your dog through the fields to flush out the birds for you, driven pheasant shooting is more formal and planned ahead of time. On the day when the shooters gather, a team of beaters lines out at specific pegs. Dogs are walked through the area to flush out the birds from their cover. When they do so, they become the shooters’ overhead target. Downed birds are retrieved by the dogs. This, the driven-style pheasant shooting takes much more planning and is not necessarily offered by every lodge where you can hunt birds. Inquire ahead of time if this is a style you want to be a part of on your next trip. Good hunting lodges do offer these options Pheasant hunters, much like other hunters and wing-shooters,often plan their trips way ahead of time, which also gives them time to find the best hunting lodge in Idaho and elsewhere – also for the pheasant shooter.
