Upland Hunting

The most natural bird hunting experience
this side of the Dakotas!

At Little Creek, we want you to have the best upland bird hunting experience possible. In addition to offering nearly 600 continuous private acres, our fields of sorghum, switch grass and marshes bisected by two natural spring fed creeks will provide some of the best coverage for natural pheasant and chukar hunting that you have ever seen.

We use only premium quality pheasants that are "raised wild and kept wild." We get our birds from the best breeders in the state and keep them healthy in a large flight pen. You'll see first hand what quality flight birds are like. With a natural carryover of pheasants and some of the best cover around, we are sure that you will make Little Creek a part of your upland hunting plans year after year.
