Pheasant Preserve

This year we will  be hunting from September 1, 2024 until we run out of birds; but no later than March 31, 2025.   We allow you to hunt either a half day or entire day.  We find that most hunters can only walk about 4 hours, which constitutes a half day of hunting.  We are constantly releasing birds so expect to see more birds than what we release for you during your experience at Sanborn’s Fish Kreek Ranch Preserve.   We have a variety of cover options, and with the dry spring, it is very concentrated this year. The hatch of young chicks was not as heavy as last season but there are a lot of birds on the property.

At the end of the hunt we check to see if the birds that you have taken are wild or released, and we put authorized Montana, Fish, Wildlife and Parks, tags on one leg of each bird so that you can legally transport your birds.
