I would like to take this opportunity to ask you for topics you’d like me to write about. Please e-mail me at trent@pheasantbonanza.com and I will add your input to my “Thoughts from the field” schedule. I’ve heard from a few of you about input and also that you appreciate the weekly “Thoughts from the field”.

We are about one month away from the start of our upland and waterfowl season. We are putting the finishing touches on our waterfowl lake habitat and prepping our upland fields for opener. With the opener right around the corner make sure your hunting partner is in shape and conditioned for the field. If you have time and the resources and want to train or condition on your own, remember you can use our training grounds if you are a member. If you don’t have time and want a refresher our price is $200 for a week tune up. I personally would recommend a 2-week tune up but any amount of time is beneficial. We also have 5 spots available in August for our Fly-way program (introductory class for beginner dogs). Please reach out to us at 402-374-1765 if you are interested in any of the mentioned programs.

Now let’s change the focus and talk about the Hunter… What are you doing to stay in shape or to get prepared for the season? If you were already working on your wellness then you should be good to go but for many and myself included it was easy to pack on the pounds and skip a few workouts during this pandemic. Thankfully I have an accountability group that pushes me but I definitely “slipped” this spring. With Covid times, there is a great solution to being active, socially distancing, and enjoying the great outdoors. Join our club and come hunt with us, we will not disappoint. If you are interested in upland, waterfowl, deer or turkey please reach out and we are more than willing to explain our services. Memberships begin September 1 but if you join now, we will honor the month of August.
