Euro-Hunt Info
Hunts are offered during the months of November through March and are held only on Saturdays and Sundays. Either mornings or afternoons are available on Saturdays. Only afternoons are available on Sundays. Morning hunts check-in at 9:00AM with shooting beginning at 10:00AM. Afternoon hunts check-in at 12:00PM (Noon) and shooting begins at 1:00PM.
The schedule is as follows:
- 1st hour:
- Check-in (Payment and Signing in).
- Safety talk (Rules, Regulations, and Requirements).
- Assign stations or hunter placement.
- Send hunters to their starting stations.
-
- The Hunt (consist of 8 braces):
- 1st thru 7th brace starts and ends with a single air horn, the 8th and final brace starts and ends with a double air horn.
- The horn blows and then the birds are released over a period of time in the brace determined by the number of guns and the number of birds released. This process is repeated eight times.
- The number of birds released is based on the number of paid shooters. 13 per paid gun.
To hold a shoot you have to have a minimum of 16 paid guns and up to a maximum of 32 paid guns. More paid guns means more birds released.
There are 16 stations total on the circle. All guns which start on odd-numbered stations will only shoot from odd-numbered stations and will shoot from all odd-numbered stations. Likewise, all guns which start on even-numbered stations will only shoot from even-numbered stations will will shoot from all even-numbered stations.
There is a guide and dog positioned between every two stations. They are responsible for all the retrieving and spotting of the birds (the shooter is not responsible for any of this). All birds collected by the guides will be brought to the clubhouse and placed on the bird table, then dispensed evenly among all paid shooters.
There is always a meal offered at the clubhouse after every hunt. There will be a photo taken at the bird table after finishing the meal.
The total time allotted for a shoot should be four hours, with actual hunting lasting approximately two hours. All steel shot, no lead allowed. A limited amount of shells are available on an "as-needed" basis at the clubhouse. An orange hat is mandatory which is also available at the clubhouse. No alcohol before or during the hunt. We always have ATV transportation available for participants needing it.
*** No hunting license can be purchased onsite ***
