Went hunting Sunday and since we had limited time with a sitter, we tried Mendel Woodland's Hunt Club. Pretty great, esp. b/c you can rent a dog if you don't have one. I'd love to have my own dog and it would surely bring the price down, but you guys might enjoy it with your dogs if you get in a rut and need guaranteed action. I do believe there are holdover birds as well as the few released.
Note: it was CRAZY gusty and windy this day, making the dog lose the scent and making the birds really hunker down. When they did flush they preferred to run, but we got a few that bounded up.
The recipe I used was Pheasant Normandy, pretty good with the cider. Recipe here: http://www.thefield.co.uk/food/recipes/top-10-pheasant-recipes-pheasant-normandy-21722 .
