March 11, 2013 by Jim Niemiec
Sean Ponso, owner of the Lone Pine Pheasant Club, was in his booth already talking about plans for next season. This club shot well this past upland game bird season, bird cover is in excellent shape and the club house offers a good place to rest tired feet after a morning in the field. Ponso is talking about some new bird pens that will greatly enhance the hunting options at the club and also has worked up a good relationship with the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel in Lone Pine, which is super dog friendly, for those wanting to spend a couple of days hunting in Owens Valley.

Jim Niemiec's Blog: Many Wing Shooting Options in Lower Owens Valley
December 05, 2012 by Jim Niemiec
Winter is starting to set in the Lower Owens Valley as night time temps are dipping down into the mid-twenties and it's not getting much over 60 degrees during the day. This valley, thanks to the flow of water that was mandated to keep wetlands alive and settle the dust in the mostly dry Owens Lake bed, holds a lot of wild game. The extra flow of water through the valley floor has created a maze of canals, ponds and a flowing Owens River making for ideal habitat to attract flocks of winter ducks, geese and shore birds, while the dry sage brush flats are home to native California valley quail, Tule elk, mule deer, varmints, dove and along the foothills, off the eastern slopes of the High Sierra, wing shooters can hunt chukar and mountain quail.

All the protective cover of trees, some stands of thicker high cover, fence lines over grown with ideal upland game bird habitat and native springs combine to make this pheasant club one fine place to hunt.
