Continental pheasant shoot for 5 hunters including brunch afterward hosted by the 4R Ranch in Hondo, Texas. Shoot includes one day shoot, guide, brunch, and beverages. Not included: travel to the ranch, Texas hunting license, and gratuity.

The itinerary for the 4R Pheasant Shoot is as follows:
8:00am arrive at the lodge
8:15am guides arrive at the lodge and go over rules of engagement
8:25am load up in the 4R hunting rigs and proceed to the field
8:45am shoot begins
11:00am wrap up the shoot
11:15am brunch is served
12:00pm depart

The setting for the shoot is in the heart of the ranch along Bear Springs. There are 10 pegs or stations, and 6 of those pegs are in the dry creek bottom of Bear Springs. The other 4 pegs are set behind the creek bed, roughly 40 yards behind the front line. The setup is extremely safe!
The pegs in the creek have a very narrow shooting alley. In front of you, is a 40' bluff congested with elms, oaks, and cedars. Behind you are 50' & 100' elms and oaks. The dry creek itself is 15-20 yards wide, so when the pheasants pass over the front line, it is very fast shooting. The birds that make it past the front line will have reached maximum cruising speed and altitude once they reach the 4 pegs on the back line, so good luck! The birds are released from a launch station on the bluff overlooking the dry creek but are not visible to the shooters at any time.
Before we start the shoot, we draw for peg positions 1-10. Once the guides/bird shaggers get everyone set, we start the shoot. 17 pheasants are released per rotation, and after the last bird is released in the rotation, we give the signal and everyone rotates to the next peg position. Everyone will have the opportunity to experience each peg position.
After the first 5 rotations, we take a 10-15 minute break. This allows the bird shaggers and the 6-8 English Cockers we will have in the field time to round up all the long fall birds.
After the shoot is over and the dogs have fetched up the last bird, we take a group photo. From there, we return to the lodge where Jill will have a delicious Southern Style Brunch ready for everyone to enjoy.
