We Have Been "On The Hunt" Since 1996! 28 Years of Experience & Counting
Taylor Creek is a hunting preserve with guided quail hunts. We also provide Continental shoots for pheasants. Come see us and experience one of the best kept secrets on the Gulf Coast for shooting recreation. We shoot over 9,000 pheasants a year, more than all the other Gulf Coast preserves combined. That's why we are The Pheasant Capital of the South
The half-day quail hunt includes a reasonable chance to harvest 12 quail. Extra quail can be harvested for an additional fee. All harvested quail are cleaned and iced for each hunter. Morning and afternoon quail hunts can be scheduled for your convenience. (Lunch included - for morning hunts only)
Rates for full-day quail hunts are available for a minimum of two hunters -- lunch is included. Refreshments are available in the field for all guided hunts. Tipping of guide is customary.
Throughout the hunting season, Taylor Creek hosts Continental Pheasant Shoots, an activity that offers high volume shooting that is perfect for a corporate outing or entertaining guests. We release 9000 birds per season. 125 birds for a minimum of 10 shooters or 225 birds for a maximum of 20 shooters.
Our continental course is very unique. We have trees, obstacles and even a pond incorporated into the ring. That's why we host more shoots than all other coastal preserves, combined. No open field nonsense here. We book up a year in advance, so if you want to host an event, book early to assure availability.
At present, we use German Shorthair Pointers for our guided quail hunts. The half-day hunt includes a reasonable chance to harvest 12 quail. Extra quail can be harvested for an additional fee.

Bring your dog, or have us retrieve.
During a pheasant hunt, participants occupy stations located in a circle approximately 150 yards from a 60-foot tower. The stations are situated approximately 50-60 yards apart. The shooting round begins when a signal is given from the tower. All guns are to remain unloaded until the signal is given. Once the pheasants for that shooting round have been released, and the downed birds are retrieved, another signal will be given to end the shooting round. Hunters unload their guns, and rotate clockwise to the next shooting station; no shooting is allowed while rotating stations. Once hunters have arrived at the next station, another signal is given and the next shooting round will begin. The shoot continues in this manner until each of the hunters has visited all stations.
