17 years and will return
I have just completed my seventeenth year of pheasant and chukar hunting at Lazy-J and I can assure you that it is one of the finest pheasant hunting experiences one will ever have. It has never been billed as a five star hotel experience wich also hunts birds. Instead, it offers a very comfortable, clean and well furnished bunkhouse atmosphere with the greatest home grown, home prepaerd and served meals one is ever likely to experience. over the seventeen years of hunting Lazy-J, i have taken or sent as many as forty five hunters per year and they all loved it and most come back year after year. Dave Holloway, his son Jake and all the guides do everything possible to make the hunt a top rate experience for hunters of all levels of proficiency. Another consideration which bears mention is the fact that L-J hunts are not physically gut wrentching. Haskell is the flattest county in Kansas which makes the walking fairly easy and the pace is slow to allow the dogs to cover the ground adequately. Hunters with mild medical conditions can make these hunts while younger more robust guys feel they're given a good workout. Even novice shooters will have more tha enough opportunities to limit on every hunt. To conclude, If you are loking for an affordable, comfortable hunt with great food, dogs, guides and Birds, Lazy-J is very difficult to beat.

Oct.27, 2011 Pheasant hunt
Arriving in Sublette Texas I expected a ranch setting but ended up in a house in a development which boarded 12 guys. We were told if it flies it dies. We were told we would be shooting wild and released birds. There were 8 of us so we were guided by 2 guides. One with flushing labs and one with pointers. The cover was very poor and we hunted on cut wheat fields. The guides and dogs were very good. After the first field we hunted I had yet to see a wild bird. After 3 days I was yet to see a wild bird. All the birds were released and a third were hens. Our dogs in our group caught at least 10 on the ground in 3 days. The food served for breakfast and lunch was at another house and was good home cooking. Overall I was disappointed. If I wanted to shoot released birds I could have done it near home and all cocks for alot less. Bird cleaning was poor. 3 dollars a bird for a breast. I was charged $6 per bird to have it skinned whole. Bird we cellophaned wrapped on styrofoam. Lazy J provided nothing to help get the birds back. Overall, if you want to shoot released birds that don't fly very well then go to Lazy J hunting in Sublette texas.

Fantastic Pheasant Hunt
It may be possible to find a better Pheasant Hunt than that offered by Lazy J but you will have to look long and hard to find it. 2010 was our tenth year to hunt Lazy J and as always everything from the lodging, the food and the hunting was outstanding. Lazy J leaves no stone unturned to ensure a safe, satisfying and enjoyable hunt. WARNING, if you come once, you will be hooked and will return over and over again. So oil up your gun, break in your boots, and prepare yourself for one of the best hunting experiences you have ever had.

My brothers and I have been hunting with Lazy J since 2001. We have always met our bird limit for every half day hunt. Dave Holloway runs a outstanding operation. We have the same guide every year, who always puts us on plenty of birds. I would highly recommend this outfit. The houses we stay in and the food they feed us for breakfast and lunch is to die for.

Iowa Hunting Information
Iowa is one of the best Midwestern states for monster whitetail bucks. Non-residents must apply for a tag in their annual drawing. Archery tags are the most sought after and depending on what units you apply for generally take 2-4 years to draw.
Alberta Hunting Information
Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.
British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
