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 thick, "traditional" Vermont game bird habitat. We manage our cover crops so that excellent pheasant hunting is available year-round. We also have available for sale through our hatchery pheasant eggs, chicks and mature birds.

UPDATE: April 2008
**We have closed for the season as of April 27th. Please be sure to check back often as we will post our Fall schedule soon including dates for our popular European Shoots. **Peaceable Hill offers hunters classic natural New England and Vermont upland hunting cover, as well as areas managed with annual grasses and cover crops such as corn and sorghum. Reservations for the 2008-2009 season are accepted anytime. Weekends and holiday weeks are especially busy and we recommend making plans well ahead of time. ** Our birds are strong, fast and crafty. If you are interested in our hatchery service where we raise quality pheasants chicks and also sell eggs, you can click on the link above for more information. You will find our magnificently feathered Mongolian ringnecks and the wiley and fast Kansas Flyer provide outstanding shooting opportunities. ** We have gift certificates available that are perfect for the holidays, as a year-end bonus for your business associates and employees, or just a great way to say "thank you" to someone special. You can give a pheasant hunt or we would be glad to arrange a special European shoot at your request. Just ask! |
Peaceable Hill is comprised of three farms; The Home Farm, The Gunnery and Cutting Hill, where we have our hatchery and breeder farm. Each farm is managed exclusively for prime bird habitat, and each has unique characteristics which will satisfy any situation. Bird contact is what Peaceable Hill is 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. Our 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 you can minimize distractions. 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 the Fall months and hold up very
well through the winter. We have fantastic hunting right into the month of May. By then of course the turkeys
are gobbling so we switch from pheasants to the big birds.
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.
For those of you visiting Vermont who would like to hunt with us, single day hunting licenses are available (completion of a State certified Hunter Safety Course or previous State issued hunting license required) and we may even be able to supply you with rental shotguns. Please inquire and we will be glad to work with you.
Whether you are a single hunter looking to train your new pup, or if you have a large group and need an all-day guided
hunt, we can accommodate you. Please call anytime for further information, references or to book your hunt. Same
day reservations are always welcome based on availability. We also have available for sale through our hatchery pheasant eggs, chicks and mature birds. Simply click on the links below for more information.
Again, thanks for visiting our web site and please let us
know if we can answer any questions for you.
