Welcome to the Hunting Update page for Delaware River Labradors website. The 2010/201010 season is coming and I hope you'll make a trip to hunt with us. The field has been planted with strips of switchgrass and little bluestem and will provide better cover for this season's hunts. Please call or email to reserve a date for the 2010/201100 season or to have any questions answered.

Delaware River Labradors Upland Hunts (DRL) opened in September of 2006. A lease of 355 acres has been secured near Long Eddy, NY in the area known as Acidalia. The property is at the corners of Neer and Neer Hill Roads and includes two upland areas. The preserve season begins on September 1 and lasts until March 31, or until my bird supply is exhausted. Pheasants and chukars are available to provide sport for the gunners. Standard upland packages include either twelve pheasants or chukars. Extra birds may be added to the package at the time the reservation is made in any combination. Custom hunts packages can also be had if so desired.
Guided hunts allow the clients to hunt with Duff, Adie and Muddy. All three dogs are hunt test titled. Duff, Adie and Muddy are currently performing the work of finding and retrieving birds. SAFETY is the first priority at DRL. While not required by the New York DEC, DRL requires that flourescent orange be worn on the head and about the shoulders. A safety talk will given prior to each hunt, with standard safe gun-handling procedures gone over. No alcohol is allowed prior to and during hunts. While it's a sign of the times, insurance regulations require a release be signed by each member of the hunting party. DRL recommends #5 or #6 shot in high brass be used for pheasants. For chukars, #6 or #7 1/2 shot will suffice. Appropriate attire will add to your enjoyment. Waterproof boots are recommended. Waterproof pants will also help keep you comfortable in the field. Layered clothing will enable to you to add or subtract, as conditions dictate. Lodging is available in the area. I am most happy to help in arranging accomodations. There are also a number of excellent restaurants and I can , again, make recommendations to suit your tastes.
