Our Pedee preserve contains 315 acres which is divided into two upland bird hunting units. Both contain some hillside areas and part of the flatter bottom-land area along the Luckiamute. The bottom area includes a diverse habitat area and can provide some easy and difficult hunting. The riparian areas along the river provide some short shots in more brushy areas.
The retrieves can be challenging for the dogs and may be in-water. The edge habitat we have created in the bottom provides some longer shots, easy retrieves, and near level walking. The large Ash, Maple and Cottonwood trees and views of the Luckiamute make this part of each area enjoyable, just for the scenery.
We have developed two hunting units that will provide a good day's hunt, and will continue to develop and enhance these in the years to come.
We are a day use upland bird hunting preserve in the Willamette Valley in Western Oregon. We do not provide meals or overnight accommodations at the present time.
FEES: Basic Hunt $220 per hunter. Normally we require a minimum of two hunts to reserve well in advance. Single hunts can call or email and, if we are not booked, a hunt can be allowed at the $220 price. Single hunts on weekdays can be scheduled further in advance than weekends. Our hunts are all full day hunts and includes the release of at least 5 cock pheasants. More cocks may be released if residual numbers are low. We do release some hens, but do not allow them to be bagged. Bird cleaning. We field dress your birds and cool them until you are ready to depart. We do not provide lunches or lodging, please see our recommendations under lodging and meals. Maximum number of hunters per unit is 4. We provide a guide free of charge on your first hunt on our preserve so that you can become more familiar with the different areas and terrains.
Dog and Handler: $50/hunter
Bag Limits: 5 cock pheasants per day We set this limit so that the hunt remains true to hunting traditions. We think having to identify your target as a cock, rather than a hen, or other species, adds to the experience and makes shots safer.
We require reservations for all hunts as we must know the numbers of hunters at least the day prior to make sure your birds are ready.
We may require a $50 deposit within 7 days of booking the hunt in order to hold your date. You can use our on-line credit card payment method, call us with a card, or send a check. Please don't send cash in the mail.
We strongly recommend that you wear Orange somewhere high on your body. A hat or vest works best.
Licenses:
You may hunt with either an Oregon Hunting License, or a Private Hunting Preserve Permit. The Oregon License must be valid for the year of the hunt, and must include an upland bird validation. The hunting preserve permit is valid on any hunting preserve in Oregon, for the preserve hunting year - August 1 to March 31. Cost is based on what we are charged by ODFW, which is currently $6.00 for residents and $12.00 for non-residents. We do not sell the State issued licenses. These are available in Monmouth, Dallas, and Corvallis – all within 25 minutes.
