Eastern View Outfitters LLC Preserve has thousands of acres of privately managed ground ranging from picked agricultural fields, secondary growth pasture lands, to rolling meadows and mixed hardwood forests. This allows us to give our upland hunters a variety of challenging terrain to hunt upland birds in. We are only offering fully Guided hunts for ringneck pheasants at this time. Ringneck pheasants are some of the most beautiful of all game birds, a rewarding bird to pursue! We will be tailoring the hunts to parties of 10 or less persons. This gives each person plenty of ample shot opportunities in the group and safe hunting conditions. All non-member hunts will have a licensed NYS Guide on hand and a Gundog provided if your party desires and doesn’t have one of their own. The Gundogs will be provided for locating and retrieving the game birds your party harvests. We utilize both pointing dogs and flushing dogs depending on the cover we will be hunting. We also offer a Preserve Membership so please take a look at this value package. All memberships are the only self guided packages we offer. We only offer a limited number of Preserve memberships annually so plan ahead. Both Member and non-member hunts are certainly welcome to bring their own dogs on the hunt. Whether you own seasoned gun dogs or are introducing that young pup to the art of game bird hunting, we encourage you to come hunt our preserve. If your party has their own Gundog–the Guide will gladly sideline his dog/s to allow your dog/s exclusive hunting privileges. All bird cleaning is included in the non-member hunt price and the member hunts if they are fully guided. Gratuity is not included in the price on the fully guided hunts and is greatly appreciated by the Guide. 

We are a Class A preserve and No hunting license or special permits are required to hunt Ringneck Pheasants at our preserve. 

We only allow non-lead ammunition such as steel shot, tungsten or bismuth while hunting on the Preserve. This is an ECO-Friendly Preserve and there is no exceptions. We will have 12 gauge Rio Blue-steel shotshell ammunition available or you can plan ahead and bring your own favorite cartridge.

Ringneck Pheasant Hunt packages in NY (September 1st -April 15)

All non-member & member Pheasant hunts are offered either in the Morning or in the Afternoon. Morning hunts are scheduled from 9am-12noon and Afternoon hunts are scheduled from 1pm-4pm. All Preserve Membership holder hunts will be self guided unless you added the Fully Guided hunt. The Guide will will show you the hunt area where your party of up to 4 persons will hunt. Each non-member hunt will be accompanied by a Guide/s and a Gundog/s. Your Guide/s will go over basic safety rules and hunting strategy for the hunt. Your party will then follow your Guide and Gundog into prime Pheasant habitat and the hunt ensues! Watch the dog flawlessly work over the cover and habitat in search of the fast flying Ringneck Pheasants. Your Guide will know when the dog is on point or “birdy” and will instruct the group to pay special attention. The bird will flush and your group will take aim and harvest your game birds. If your party has their own hunting dogs the Guide will not hunt his dog/s and be there to help direct you to the areas you should work the cover over thoroughly. We do not shoot birds on the ground and all guests will abide by the “Horizon Rule” or the hunt will be terminated. This means if you can’t see blue sky below the bird please don’t shoot. Our hunting dogs are like our children. Hunts will have both hens and rooster pheasants and both may be harvested during the hunt. Both before and after the hunt member & nonmembers are required to check in and check out. After the hunt your Guide will take pictures and clean all your birds. You can add more birds or a Fully guided hunt with our dogs to the hunt if desired and scheduled 24 hours prior to the hunt. All Pheasant hunts can be combined with Fishing charter and Waterfowl hunting packages. When you schedule as combo trips you save your group money instead of booking separately.

After the Hunt

Birds will be processed back at the trucks by your Guide on all fully guided hunts. Guides will dress birds out and place into ziplock bags for your convenience. All carcasses will be taken by the guide to ensure they are disposed of properly.
