Book Your Group Pheasant Hunt or Tower Shoot Before Opening Day

A ground hunt is the classic walk up pheasant hunt across our fields in God’s Country, working the cover with a guide and dogs to flush birds. It is the experience most hunters picture when they think of a New Hampshire pheasant hunt, and it works well for solo hunters, couples, and small groups who want a traditional morning or afternoon in the field. Ground hunts can be booked for a single date or built into a full weekend that also includes lodging.

A group pheasant hunt is one of the easiest ways to get a crew of friends, family, or coworkers together outdoors before winter. RiverVail Ranch can build a custom hunt around your group’s size and experience level, from first time hunters to seasoned wing shooters. Groups also open the door to add lodging on the property, so the hunt becomes a full weekend rather than a single outing. If you have been talking about organizing a hunt with your usual crowd, September is the month to put a date on the books.

For larger groups, corporate outings, or a celebration with a crowd, a tower shoot is often the better fit. Birds are released from an elevated tower, giving every shooter in the group a challenging, high flying target and a fast paced rotation through stations. Tower shoots are a favorite for team building days, client entertainment, and milestone celebrations, since they let a large group participate at once without the pacing constraints of a traditional ground hunt. If you are organizing an event for a business or a large family gathering, ask us about setting a tower shoot date this fall.

Members get priority access to hunt dates as the season books up, along with a standing relationship with our guides and grounds throughout the year. For hunters who plan to return more than once this season, or who want first choice on the best dates for a group hunt or tower shoot, membership pays for itself quickly. August is the month to join before the September 1 opening day rush, so your preferred dates are secured rather than left to chance.
