Quail Hunting Recommendations …What Hunters Say About
The Quail Hunting & the Lodge at Rio Piedra Plantation
Rio Piedra would be happy to share our letters of recommendation
with you. We would also be happy to share the results
of hunter satisfaction surveys (and comments) that are
administered through Orvis®.
Here’s
what our hunters have to say:
"This is
quail hunting
at its best. Rio Piedra captures the essence of
old time plantation style hunting...big Long
Leaf pine forests, wire grass fields, broomsedge
meadows...it's big land, open vistas and hard
flying birds. It's like dropping back in time
100 years."
Bob C.
Kansas City
"It has the
reputation of being #1 in
quail hunting.
As 30 plus year quail hunting veterans, we can't
refute that."
Willard & Mark O'Brien
Columbia, SC
"Our group
of four experienced bird hunters have been to
perhaps a dozen wingshooting lodges in the
Midwest, West and Southeast. All have been good
but one is outstanding...Rio Piedra. The
quail hunting
at Rio Piedra is more "real" than any place we
have ever been."
Roger C.
Frankenmuth, MI
"This will be our family's
sixth year at Rio. European "Chef Dirk" is one reason.
"Best dogs" and "best flying birds" are the other two
reasons."
Dalton Flynn
Clearwater, FL
"Anyone who knows
anything about quail hunting knows about Rio Piedra.
There's a reason for that."
Mike Pine
Roanoke, VA
"We have hunted birds all
over the U.S., Europe and Southern Africa. This place
has the best combination of challenging birds, great
guides, skilled English Pointers, gourmet food,
interesting terrain and southern hospitality. The quail
hunting was excellent; the "whole experience" sets it
apart."
"Everything about this
place was real. Great land, great birds, great dogs."
Bill C.
Miami
"The reputation is well
deserved"
Huxley Compton
Elmira, NY
"South Georgia is the
quail capital of the world. Rio Piedra is the epicenter.
It is the best birds, best dogs, best food we have come
by yet!"
Chip Bloomberg
Cincinnati
"I have used Rio Piedra
for customer entertainment and getaways with small
groups of friends. It works for both. Its reputation as
"premier quail hunting destination resort in the South"
can not be questioned."
Doug P.
Dunwoody, GA
"We go for the dog work.
It is what makes
quail hunting. Rio's
kennel of English Pointers, English Setters, Brittany's
and German Shorthair's is the best around."
Melvin Carter
Atlanta
"I am an avid reader of
Shooting Sportsman, Sporting Classics, Bird Hunting News
and other magazines that feature
quail hunting articles.
They have all run stories suggesting this place is at
the pinnacle of quail hunting destination resorts. It
is!"
