Driven Pheasant Shooting is a centuries-old, European-style of shooting that combines old-world traditions, beautiful landscapes, and challenging wing shots to create a “nirvana” of sorts for sporting shotgunners and game bird hunting enthusiasts.
Still today, Driven Shooting experiences can be found throughout the U.K., but have also become increasingly more popular and accessible in the U.S. where shooters can experience this exciting style of shooting without having to spend the time, money and endure the hassle of international travel.
Joshua Creek Ranch, in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, has featured European-style Driven Pheasant Shooting as part of its world-class wingshooting program since 1990. Multiple drive sites for European-style driven pheasant shooting have been developed all over the ranch. Rugged areas and elevations above the bottom lands along the pristine Guadalupe River are used to drive pheasants high over a line of shooters.
“Just imagine scores of iridescent, hard-flying, ringneck pheasant exploding from limestone bluffs and ridges then lifting high overhead to challenge shooters’ skills and instincts,” offered Kevin Welborn, Managing Director at Joshua Creek Ranch. “Beginning this season, there are more ways than ever to experience driven shooting at Joshua Creek Ranch, plus we have upgraded our program to include higher-volume, more traditional driven shooting opportunities.”
For more than 30 years, Joshua Creek Ranch has been dazzling even the most discerning guests from all over the world. Custom itineraries, prime hunting and shooting opportunities, and exceptional outdoor sporting adventures are complemented by luxury resort amenities and warm Texas hospitality. Today, this family-owned and operated ranch, located in the renowned Texas Hill Country outside of San Antonio, thrives as one of the most-visited hunting lodges in the world and perennially boasts some of the highest honors and endorsements in the wingshooting world.
