Peaceablehill is open through April 2024!

Hello friends! Peaceablehill is open for the season and despite all the rain we have had in Vermont this year our crops are great, we have excellent cover and lots of fast flying birds. Membership packages are available (Sold out for the 2023-2024 season) and we are ready to reserve dates for hunting this fall. Please call soon for all dates around Thanksgiving and especially Christmas week as these are very busy times for us. Morning and afternoon hunts are available.

Please call with any questions and Judy and I look forward to welcoming you to New Englands' finest shooting preserve!

PRESERVE INFORMATION: Starting in September we hunt every day and are open through April. Morning hunts begin at 8:30 AM and the fields are cleared by NOON (12 PM), while afternoon hunts start at 12:30 PM and fields are cleared by 4:00 PM. Please plan to arrive at the farm approximately half an hour prior to your start time. Arrive at 8 AM for morning hunts and at 12:00 PM for afternoon hunts "Cleared fields" means you will be back to the Club House so we can account for your birds and give you the necessarly travel documentation for your harvested pheasants. Thank you for your attention to this schedule.

We have guided and handled hunts available or you may bring your own dog. Our guides are experienced men and women who appreciate the interaction between hunters and good working dogs. Pointing breeds are typically used for our upland hunts.

***Peaceable Hill Pheasant Hunting Preserve is a “Regulated Shooting Ground” located in the beautiful Champlain Valley of Vermont. The Valley is typical New England habitat rich with active dairies, apple orchards, diversified farms and conservation managed buffers. At Peaceable Hill we have hundreds of acres of outstanding pheasant and upland bird habitat that consists of open cropland with corn, milo and grain fields bordered by swale grass ditches and cool season grasses with thicket edges. We also are fortunate to have many acres of "traditional" Vermont game bird habitat. We manage our cover crops so that excellent pheasant hunting is available year-round.

Peaceable Hill is managed exclusively for prime bird habitat and bird contact is what we are all about. Whether you are training a young pup or challenging an experienced brace, the combination of cover, bird contact and the surrounding beauty will satisfy all your senses. Loud cackling Ringnecks, strong and flashy, blasting off from under the nose of a tight Pointer, or a birdie Flusher bumping a skittish hen, is the experience you will not easily forget!

Our goal is to provide you with an outstanding experience and we have the desire and ability to customize a hunt to your needs. We have spectacular fields and open cropland habitat which allows excellent visual reference for training a young pup, as well as secluded areas where distractions are minimal. We plant fields of grain sorghum (Milo), corn, perennial switch grass and reed canary grass. Crops and planting arrangements are planned in order to establish nesting cover, feed plots and challenging cover. Our natural and planted covers make for outstanding hunting throughout the season.

You are welcome to hunt with your dogs, or we can arrange a professionally handled hunt with experienced guides working over trained pointers or flushing dogs.

Please call anytime for further information, references or to book your hunt. Same day reservations are always welcome based on availability. Again, thanks for visiting our web site and please let us know if we can answer any questions.
