Briarpatch Hunting Preserve is located 10 miles south
of Marion, Perry County, on the Blackbelt Prairie in west-central
Alabama.
Guided quail hunts are given from October 1 to March 31. If
you do not have your own dogs do not worry, we will supply dogs and a
guide. |

All of the birds used on the preserve are raised in
fight pens of fifty by one hundred and fifty feet. These pens are supplied with
plenty of cover to insure that the birds can adapt to the outside environment,
making for an excellent flight bird to hunt. |

|
 |
 |
| |
|
| Anchor Covey Release Systems are used on the hunting
preserve, and also placed in the flight pens, insuring the birds are familiar
with the system. We have used this system for eight seasons now and are very
pleased with the results. |

|
 |
We offer half day hunts for $175.00 which includes 12
birds. Additional birds are $7.00 each and cleaning is extra. Morning hunts
start at 8:00 AM and afternoon hunts start around 1:30 PM CST. |

| Bobby and Jen, "My father, both my
sons, my daughter, and I have been hunting with you folks for the past 5 years.
I think this year was the best yet. The two Korean gentlemen from Hyundai in
Montgomery that I brought over this year had a wonderful time. They had never
hunted quail before and were amazed at the way your dogs worked the birds.
Thanks a lot for the good times and good memories." Randy Festavan, Cahaba
