I've been a member of Hullett for many years mainly for duck hunting but I also have hunted pheasants there several times. I have found up until a few years ago I could go there on a week day and not run into any other hunters and I would usually flush a few pheasants and depending on my shooting, come home with a bird or two. Lol Recently though, it seems whatever day I went there, there would be cars parked at every pheasant hunting parking lot and it was becoming increasing difficult to find birds to get a flush. I dont live nearby so I wouldn't be considered a local but those that are know on what days the Hullett staff release the birds (the truck is pretty easy to spot) and they would go there with a large group of hunters and their pointing dogs and really clean up. I tried to book a pheasant hunt at Autumn Olive recently and Andrew said he is booked up until the end of October because everyone is scrambling to find a spot to hunt pheasants because Peele Island is not running their pheasant hunts this year due to the coronavirus. I would think that is going to put additional hunting pressure on Hullett this fall as well? I don't want to discourage you from hunting pheasants at Hullett. It's a jewel of a place to hunt ducks and pheasants for free so if you do go, please buy an annual membership for $25 and a few pheasant raffle tickets. If we dont support places like Hullett they won't be around for the next generation to enjoy.
