Rasawek Preserve

[6pt-sika]

Just got home from Rasawek Preserve doing the quail thing . Had a pretty decent day ! The only thing I can knock the place about was wanting you to approach the birds four abreast , I’d be much more comfortable doing it in pairs . Anyway I scratched down 11 birds with 14 shots and yes I ALWAYS keep track of hits and shots etc . In our group of four there was one lady shooter the wife of the guy that gets this shoot together , two other guys and myself as well as a lady handler and her three English Setters . Might have to do this again if I can before heading to the South Pacific Almost forgot I was using the little VH 0 frame 28 gauge shooting Fiochi factory #8 dove loads !

Looks pretty steep. Even the trees are sideways in that first picture.

That is what your little Parker has been waiting for these past 100 years! Nice shooting 6pt!

Strange they’re in the right direction on my phone and I thought what the heck are you talking about ? But when I looked on the PC they’re sideways

Looks like some real nice cover for birds there, nicely done 6pt!

Thanks ! Might’ve done a skoosh better if I’d used our Browning Superposed 28 skeet gun as this little Parker is full and full The place looks a lot like what you’d expect to see in a South Carolina or Georgia on a quail excursion but this place is about 25 miles from Richmond VA !

Leave up to electronics to mess up a good thing. Looks like you had a good time.

Yes I did ! If I can get in on another of these deals before I leave for the Philippines in mid March I plan on going again .

Couldn't help but responding....I live about 2-3 miles from Rasawek...never been back in there...Just wondered what it might cost to do a half a day hunt? Its funny...I was raised in this county, we used to have 3 different coveys of quail wander thru the back yard every day....with saving the hawks and the feral cats/coyotes, I haven't seen a "natural" Bob White in 25 years...Glad y'all had a good time...PS: They feed you lunch???

This thing was $600 a party divided four ways . Lunch included and they cleaned the birds and give each shooter four I believe . They also feed you a very nice lunch we had quail jambalaya and pie after . So it cost me $150 plus my tip to the dog handler . I wanna try Orapax down the road from them . Orapax has a thing called a “Mallard Tower Shoot” , that intrests me quite a bit since I’ve got a bunch of duck guns and have never shot at a duck in my life !

Incidentally a half day hunt is generally 10AM to 1PM lunch after . So it’s three hours or $50 an hour .
