Around Christmas time there is a pheasant farm down at Nanton that has a fun hunt to get rid of the extra birds.  I will forward the info to you guys if they are going to do it again it’s a good time and low pressure.  This is not the cash derby but a fun hunt.
  BTW have pointers will travel…       

Sounds pretty intriguing....My Old Springer i hope has one more year in him as well...
There is a program near Innisfail i have been involved in for years that specifically takes out new Junior hunters for the first time for Pheasants..
