We’re still working on our line up, so keep checking for more updates!
Pheasant Bonanza has teamed up with 2 hunter safety instructors to offer a Hunter Safety weekend camp February 11th and 12th. We are offering this class FREE with optional activities. If a student under the age of 18 is taking advantage of the shooting activities, hunt, and/or overnight accommodations, we encourage a parent/guardian to accompany them, at the same rate as the students. Agenda for the weekend:
Saturday 2/11:
Sunday 2/12:
Pricing:
For example, if a student would like to participate in all the activities, it would be $20 for lunch both days + $30 for shooting activities + $65 for overnight lodging/evening activities +$125 for the hunt after class. This equals $240, with tax is $253.20 (x 2 if a parent or guardian is attending as well).
While we encourage you to take part in the activities offered so you and your child can have an enjoyable experience, you do NOT have to take part in everything offered. They are listed separately so you can pick and choose. If you are simply attending the class, with no meals, the class is free.
Please call the office at 402-374-1765 or 1-888-366-HUNT (4868), or email us at info@pheasantbonanza.com if you have any questions or would like to sign up.
Jeff Foster and Steve Foster took first in the flushing category with their lab Breeze, and second place with Bud, also a lab. Mike Winkler’s lab, Candy, netted third place.
In pointing, JR Stivers came in first with Sally, a GSP, and Mark Harstick’s Hannah took 2nd.
The next competition is the 28th and 29th of this month. The season championship is coming up-March 24th and 25th. To enter the Season Championship, you must have 3 competitions in the 2011-2012 season. The championship run can count as one of the 3 required competitions, so if you run in January and February’s competitions, you’ll be eligible. We will be giving a rim fire rifle to the winner in each division, pointing and flushing.
Call the office at 402-374-1765 to reserve your runs now.
Traveling for the holidays? Board your dog in our kennels. We have 50 heated indoor/outdoor runs for your dogs and a professional staff to care for them so you can travel without worry.

If anyone on your list wants a dog, we’ve got everything from started pups to family dogs to finished hunters, and they’re all at budget friendly prices. An example:
