Full description and what we offer
Wing Shooters Hunt Club and Kennels has operated since 1988 as a working pheasant hunting preserve and dog training facility. The operation is run by Charlie Linblade, who has 40+ years of gun dog training experience. His son Chuck brings an additional 20+ years of expertise, combining for over 60 years of collective dog training knowledge.
Charlie's credentials include TV appearances on Michigan Out of Doors, The American Bird Hunter, The Outdoorsman, North American Fish and Game, Outdoor America, and Fox Sports.
Located seven miles north of Ann Arbor, Wing Shooters manages habitat specifically designed for upland bird hunting—rolling, semi-wooded terrain planted in various prairie grasses. This is working habitat, not patch hunting in monocrop sorghum.
The preserve counters Southeast Michigan's 40-year decline in natural upland hunting habitat by maintaining conditions as natural and wild as genuine wildlife habitat.
Open seven days a week from September 15 through April 15 by appointment.
Youth Mentor Program: Bring your kids hunting and keep the sport alive. Two adult shooters can bring up to two additional young hunters at no extra cost.
Wing Shooters works with traditional upland hunting dog breeds: pointers use keen scent to locate birds, setters use eyesight and "set" position, and retrievers bring downed birds back to the hunter. Dogs are released from hunting vehicles or on command, search using their senses, and point when pheasant is located. Once flushed and shot, retrievers recover the bird.
