Hunt pheasants & chukars at GUNS & ROOSTERS HUNTING PRESERVE once, and you’ll return to hunt again and again. A place “Where the Valley Sportsmen Call Home”. California pheasant hunting at it’s finest since 1991, making us one of central California’s oldest pheasant hunting clubs.
GUNS & ROOSTERS HUNTING PRESERVE is very particular in selecting the pheasants we release. They must meet very strict specifications to be released at our pheasant club. If they don’t, then they are sold to another pheasant hunting club. We release only the most explosive, hard flying, full feathered and long tailed pheasants available.
GUNS & ROOSTERS HUNTING PRESERVE releases pheasants and chukars from November thru March each year. Many of these pheasants and chukars remain on the preserve to propagate. At the GUNS & ROOSTERS HUNTING PRESERVE there is no standing in line waiting to hunt. We allow only a certain number of hunters on the preserve each day. With over 2000 acres of premium habitat for pheasants, there is plenty of area for hunting.

Thank you Dave Hamilton for the great hunting! My friends had a great time, and special Thanks to Brad with his dogs that worked beautiful. Will see you next year.
Thank you Pete. I’m glad you had a great time.
I would recommend Brad Smith at Moonshine Kennels. Send me an email and I will give you his number.
Dave thanks again for a great hunt yesterday now my wife wants to start going more and now’s the value of a good dog can’t wait till next year and thanks again
Glad she had a great time
Dave, are you associated with Hamilton hunting in Parkfield?
No another hunting operation
Great place to hunt. Folks very personable.
If you want to train a dog, there is plenty of room for that and Dave will sell you the birds for that purpose.
When field trials take place, there is usually a PotLuck Dinner and folks stay over night in their trailers. Bring water for yourself and dogs. Portable Potties are provided.
What a great place to hunt and Scott and his dogs were an amazing we had so much fun
Thank you Michael. I’ll pass it along to Scott. Glad you had a great time!
Dave was very friendly and professional. Will definitely return back next year.. we had a great time!!
All I can say is I’m very pleased with the experience and making mew memories with my puppy and father. Dog handler Noah did an amazing job and even helped give pointers on training my upcoming hunting dog. Dave is a great guy and will ensure you get a great hunt. Over all an amazing hunt. Would recommend to anyone from the first time hunter to the most experienced! Will more than likely be purchasing a membership for the following season.
If you’re considering Guns & Roosters – DO IT !! Dave set myself and my son up with Nick & his amazing dogs a few seasons ago. They are absolutely top notch. Until I hunted with him, I had only hunted wild birds for about 20 years. I had went on ONE “private” pheasant hunt before and was skeptical. Dave, Nick & Guns-Roosters proved me wrong. Excellent birds, excellent guys & great hunting.
Thank you for the kind words.
We are booked for that weekend

We are now closed for the season and we’ll open up in November
First time hunting. What is required in order to hunt? What is provided and what do hunters need to bring? What rifles/calibers allowed? Thank you.
You will need a California Hunting License, only shotguns (no rifles or pistols), non-lead ammunition and something blaze orange. Reservations are required.
Hi there,
Will you be open for 2022/23 season? When do you start taking reservations? Looks like a great spot!
Thanks,
Phil.
We will open up again November 12, 2022. We start taking reservations November 1st.
Greetings,
We are wondering if we need a membership to hunt at your place? If not, what are the advantages of having a membership? Are there afternoon hunts? I have a 16 year old which is one of my primary motivations to get him out and have some successful hunts, but his schooling often conflicts with opportunities.
Thanks,
Steve
You don’t need to be a member to hunt with us. Advantages are discounts, ability to purchase bird cards and a member will win a shotgun for the longest pheasant tail feather shot on the property. Hunt start times are either 8am or 9am.
Greetings,
If the rains don’t come, any plans for a no dogs hunt until it does?
We don’t allow hunting without dogs. You’d be wasting your time trying to find birds.
Hello,
Why is Nov. most days show not available even right after 12 midnight Nov. 1st. as I wanted to hunt Nov. 12 but it would not let us select that date?
It is available now. FYI…..if we don’t get enough rain to soften the foxtails, we will NOT open until it’s safe for the dogs.
Did you decide to close on the 12th? I checked 2 days ago it was available now it’s saying you are closed?
We haven’t gotten enough rain to soften the foxtails and make it safe for the dogs.
What type of shells do we need to hunt there?
Non-lead
Shot size 6
Would that work?
can we add hunters and or make changes before the hunt date, how much notice do you need for a change such as bird count or hunt group?
Non-lead 6 shot. You can use steel, Bismuth or Tungsten
Non-lead 6 shot. Steel, Bismuth or Tungsten is allowed
You can make changes up to 24-48 hrs before the hunt.
Could I booked now for the 18th or do you want us to wait until you know we have enough rain?
Thank you
The Reservation Booking Calendar is working and you can make a reservation
I know that non members get roosters and hens. Do members get all roosters?
Everyone gets Roosters & Hens. There is no preference.
November 19 showed to be available but when I clicked on submit it said not a valid date. Did it that date fill up a second before me?
Unless the date turned green after you clicked on it, it wasn’t available.
How do you know if you reservation went through?
When you click the submit button after filling out the form. It will say your request has been successfully submitted.
Do you still allow hunts if its raining on the day of the reservation?
It depends on the amount of rain forecasted
Based on tomorrow’s rain forecast, should we still plan to show up?
Based on tomorrow’s rain forecast, should we still plan to hunt?

I have used 2 different credit cards and have chosen 2 different available dates and the system still will not let me make a reservation. Please help.
I just made a reservation using a different computer at my office and had no problems. Not sure what the issue was.
PERSONAL REVIEW:
I booked a hunt this year for the first time and it was absolutely incredible! Completely exceeded my expectations. Had the pleasure of working with Jimmie and Jason as my guides who did a phenomenal job and really took care me and ran dogs that were a riot to watch hunt. Shot the three that I paid for and even bagged an extra bird that we didn’t know was in our field, unfortunately for that bird, nothing gets away from their dogs! All around amazing experience with top notch birds and even higher quality guides/dogs. Thanks again to Dave and all the staff, will be back soon.
Thank you Michael for the kind words.
hello we would like to hunt sat and sun would we be able to camp in our rv on the property?
We allow dry camping
I have a hunt booked for this weekend what time do we check in?
I’m assuming steel shot?
anything else I should know?
We start hunting at 8am so be there a little before. Non-lead shot….it can be steel, Bismuth or Tungsten
hello i put in reservations for march 4/5 in january and my credit card number how do i know my confirmation.rodney 6267331965
March 4-5 was never available. The Reservation system wouldn’t have allowed you to book because we have a Special Junior Hunt that weekend. That date would have showed booked on the Calendar since September.
Hi Dave. I’m trying to make a reservation 2 hunters for March 12 which shows available. After I fill up the form I get this message –Nonce validation failed. Can you help me please, what I’m doing wrong?
Not sure what would cause that. Try again. If it still doesn’t work let me know how many birds you want.
this time it went through. Waiting for the confirmation email
I sent you a confirmation
My son and I are interested in exploring a pheasant hunt with you.Where are you located?
Just north of Porterville
DAVE. MERRY CHRISTMAS. I TRIED TO BOOK A DAY HUNT ON JAN 21ST FOR 2 HUNTERS. WE HAVE A DOG. I TRIED TWICE BUT GOT A FAILED NOTICE. I AM CONFUSED ON HOW TO FIX THAT. PLEASE HELP. THANKS, PAT PHELAN
We are NOT accepting any more reservations the remainder of the season. All the birds I have left are already booked. Please check back in February to see if things change.
Dave,
I have tried twice to book a day hunt for 2 people on January 21st but got a failed notification both times. I don’t know what to do. Now I see that date is no longer available. I don’t know if my reservation attempt went through or not. Let me know.
Thanks and Merry Christmas
We are NOT accepting any more reservations the remainder of the season. All the birds I have left are already booked. Please check back in February to see if things change.
Absolute Amazing experience!!! I attended Pacific Supply 2nd annual hunt and I will never forget it. The dogs were amazing to watch and we bagged some beautiful birds. Can’t wait for next year!!
I’m glad you had a great time. Thank you for the kind words.
Do you by chance have RV parking for those traveling from a distance?
Yes we have RV parking. It would be dry camping with no hookups.
Hello my name is Guenter Klase. I have a Brittany that my neighbor gave that she claims went to hunting school in Texas. I believe this dog was young when it did because I took it out Chukar hunting and it didn’t seem to be all that good. I would like to try it with pheasant but I don’t know where I can go. I live in Clovis and I was wondering about your hunts? How much it cost and would I be able to hunt with my dog to see what it could do with pheasant? This dog is now 7 years old and I don’t believe it’s hunted since only a pup. Kinda barn sour now.. If I could info I’d appreciate it… Thank you, Guenter…
The prices are on my website. We don’t start accepting reservation requests until November 1. You would be able to hunt with your dog otherwise you would be just out for a walk. Our cover & birds are really good and it would be nearly impossible to find the birds without a dog.
Do you guys allow solo hunts?
We allow single hunters provided you have your own dog. It also depends on how busy we are on a given day.
