Upland Game Bird Hunting
On the Afton Ranch Licensed Game Bird Club you'll find an abundant population of native Ringneck Pheasants that is supplemented with flight conditioned released birds. Individuals interested in variety will also find Bobwhite Quail and Chukar, which have been introduced to the area. To offer a crowd-free hunting experience, we limit the number of members on the ranch during the season. This practice gives us the opportunity to provide our clients undivided attention and service for an excellent outing.
You'll find a variety of upland ground cover from cut rice fields to over- grown tule ditches lined with trees.
PRIME HABITAT
On the very first flush you will notice a trait uncommon to most game bird clubs: HARD-FLYING BIRDS! Additionally, you can expect to put up from 6 to 24 Pheasants per day..... add Quail and Chukar for a true wingshooting extravaganza!
Day memberships start at $200.00 for a eight-bird pheasant card. Quail and chukar are also available as an addition to the basic pheasant membership, depending on the availability. We do not offer seasonal memberships to ensure that you and your party will have a pleasant hunt with no distractions.
The club is open seven days a week and special arrangements can be made for groups of six or more.
SEASON: November 4, 2006 through February 4, 2007.
Located in Glenn County the ranch is just south east of Butte City near the Sacramento River.
