Yes, a Texas hunting license is required with a upland bird stamp.
No, but your local Walmart/Academy/hardware store will.
Over the age of when they can shoot! Hunting is a part of our DNA, and humans have been doing it since mankind started. We would love for kids to come out and enjoy keeping the tradition alive.
No, we believe that parents will make the right decision. If we feel like the child may be a touch too young, our guides are trained to assist the child and keep the environment safe and fun.
Yes! Youth age 12 and under can either shoot for free under their parents package, or they can get their own package at the Extra Bird cost.
Yes, we have German shorthair pointers, English pointers, Irish setters, and our customer service dog, Nike - she hunts too!
Yes! You can hunt with us, and we will do all the hard work while you enjoy the day working your dog, or you can rent the field for the day and train your dog on your own.
As the saying goes, dogs are man’s best friend. You are more than welcome to bring your best friend. We just ask that he doesn’t leave any messes behind.
Yes, every paid hunt gets one complementary box of skeet.
Yes and no. We understand this is a vacation, and we love to have fun on vacation also. We do ask you to refrain from alcoholic beverages until all guns are put up. Birds shot by day; tequila shots by night!
Yes. To book a hunt, a 25% deposit is required. It is non-refundable unless Burks Quail Run is at fault. If the hunt is canceled due to bad weather, the deposit stays with Burks Quail Run but is used towards your next booking.
No, we do one hunting party per day. We do not believe in mixing company. We want you to feel comfortable and at ease. The whole reason we do what we do is for you to be able to get away from the world and other people. So, bring as many friends and family as you want, but you won't have to deal with strangers.
No, we have four wheelers that we can carry customers on. But due to company policy, all equipment (including ATVs) must leave with company guides. So, if you would like to hunt hog and not have to walk a good distance, we recommend you bring your own.
Yes, on our hunts we do.
There is no requirement, and we do not add it to your cost, though it is customary to tip your Hunting Guide. Industry standard is 20% of the total bill. We do ask that, if you are doing a weekly special, you tip more because you are getting the same quality hunt for substantially lower cost. Most folks think our hunting guides' jobs are easy. But, it’s kind of like football: customers come to the game, but don’t see all the practice put in during the off-season. Our guides typically work 6- to 7-days a week, 10 months out of the year, while the other two months they still work five days a week. Because of their hard work, dedication, and training, we are willing to bet we have some of the best guides in all of upland bird hunting, and they are worth every penny.
For quail, use 7 1/2 or 8; for pheasant and chukar, use 6.
There is no definite start time. When it is cold we can start a little later. When it is hot we have to start early.
Unfortunately, no. We do a lot of hunts and we want everyone to get a chance to have a day to themselves.
Yes and no. Fridays through Sundays we have a four-hunter minimum, but no minimum Monday through Thursday.
No. The special is a certain amount of birds and up to four people can hunt that. After four we will have to charge per person and add in the correct amount of birds.
We try to be consistent with the website, but life happens and prices do fluctuate. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice.
No. You can buy as few as you want or as many as we have in stock.
Yes. Birds will not be available until eight in the morning. You can pick up birds after hours in a throwaway box if prompt notice is given.
No. Only employees are allowed in transfer pens.
No. We try our hardest to fight transfer of disease, we do not want anyone that is not an employee in our flight pins.
We do not sell birds unless they are a minimum of 16 weeks old.
No. Currently we do not sell eggs or chicks.
No. We operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.
No. We are excited for you, but having unknown people in our flight pens could hurt us catastrophically. For example, if you or your neighbors have chickens, you could potentially kill our birds. Or, if you toured another farm, then came to ours, cross-contamination could kill our birds. Feel free to give us a call and we can try to help you to the best of our abilities. But we have to protect birds at all costs.
