West River Adventures Pheasant Camp

"Chris, just wanted to fill you in on another great experience at a UGUIDE camp. Our opening weekend hunt at the West River property left absolutely nothing to be desired. I must admit that I was a bit concerned about the number of birds we would see after reading the survey reports from the Game, Fish and Parks and realizing that all of the crops were still in the fields due to the recent wet conditions. Those fears were quickly put aside as we saw hundreds of birds each of our three days of hunting at West River. Our 13 man group downed our allotted 39 birds each day despite the difficult hunting conditions (VERY wet and quite windy). During our return trip home, members of our group talked to a lot of different hunters and we heard very few stories of hunters bagging their daily limits - much less downing 13 man limits for 3 straight days! The hosts were fantastic. They joined us for dinner at the lodge the first night we were there and immediately fell right in with the group, getting to know everybody and telling us tales that had us all in stitches until fairly late in the evening. As for accommodations, the lodge was just right. There was ample room for our entire group (and would have been ample room for several more, if we had them), everybody had their own bed, the kitchen was large and well stocked (we cooked breakfast and dinner at the lodge each day we were there), the dog kennel area was perfect for our pack of Vizsla's and GSP's, and the recent renovations Ron made to the lodge worked out really well. We all had nothing but positive memories to reflect on during our respective drives back to Louisiana and Texas. As evidence of that, our entire group has informed me that they would like to re-book, so count us in for Week 1 next year and, hopefully, for many years to come." - Matt, LA

"Hi Chris, our Idaho group had yet another great hunt at West River last week. The host is truly a wonderful host with great property and plenty of birds. From the reports we were expecting less birds but found that not to be the case. The abundant amount of CRP land with grass that was deep and heavy this year seemed to hold the birds better and was great for our pointing dogs. We limited our group of 11 and also shot a number of sharp tail grouse, 9 on the first day. We had 3 excellent retrieving dogs and lots very few wounded birds. Please reserve us for West River again next year for the same week 3. I expect a group of at least 10 again. Thanks!" - Randy, ID

"Hi Chris, just wanted to pass along a note to you about how amazing our hunt was at West River Adventures for week 9. Bird numbers were truly mind numbing. Since this was our first trip to one of your camps, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. WRA and the hosts did not disappoint. The owner was very helpful in getting us on birds and the camp and facilities were exactly as promised. It was the perfect setup for our group of 10. We wanted a trip were we could go and hunt as we wanted, when we wanted. That is exactly what we got to do. We easily saw 5000 birds during our trip. I would love to re-book for next year, but do to other obligations and plans we will not be able to go next year. When we do make another trip however, I certainly will be contacting you again. Thanks again for the great experience." - Erik, WI

"Chris, just a note to let you know our group of 15 had a great hunt at the West River property. There were 1000's of birds (getting smarter every week) and the challenge was in the pushing, blocking and flanking techniques employed to get shots at the birds. We killed limit two days and could have easily the third day had we not decided an afternoon of watching college football was a good way to end a wonderful three day hunt. The hosts had the place immaculately clean and we did not even hunt a couple of the parcels available this year. You can count on us re-booking for next year and we will make our initial deposits when the time comes." - Paul, NE
