I have been pheasant hunting with Don for about 15 years and each time is as fun as the last. Great guide that has become a good friend, Joe's not too bad either. His dogs and his hospitality are world class.

Don and Joe are great guides and great people. I had the opportunity to pheasant hunt with them this past September and it did not disappoint. The lodging and meals were pretty great as well.
