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.

| April 2010:
**Field Hunts: As we head into April conditions remain really good for field hunts. The fields are clear of snow and we have birds on the farm. We will hunt through the month or until we run out of birds. Avoid disappointment and please reserve your hunt soon. Thank you. *** Driven Pheasant Shoots include 125 pheasants with eight pegs at $325 per peg and include the afternoon field hunt. 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! ** EVENT DATES: Click on the links below for complete information on all of our special events here on the Preserve. |
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 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 the Fall months and hold up very
well through the winter. We have fantastic hunting right into the month of May.
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 for $5.00. To obtain a one day Vermont license, you must have a current hunting license from any state or you have had a previous hunting license. You also can get a license if you have completed a certified Hunter Safety course.
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
