Sportsman's Paradise

Sportsman's Paradise operates 2 miles of mountain spring-fed streams and still-water lakes stocked with over 20,000 trout. The fishery holds Rainbow, Brown, Cutthroat, Steelhead, Splake, Cutbow and Golden trout ranging from naturally spawned fingerlings to 16 pounds, with an average catch size of 18-24 inches.

The streams were restored to their natural 1800s appearance through major excavation work. Spawning beds produce thousands of young fry annually, creating a self-sustaining fishery. Invertebrate growth keeps fish active and fat.

These events feature 300 pheasants driven from cliff bluffs toward shooters positioned at 20 shooting butts along Long Hollow. Shooters switch positions after each 20-bird barrage. The design is modeled after Scottish driven shoots with input from a professional Scotsman.

After the driven portion, a traditional walk-up hunt pursues birds that escaped. The day concludes with a whole pig roast at the clubhouse: roasted pig with apple, Dutch oven potatoes, sweet potatoes, baked beans, cornbread, salad, beverages and dessert.

These shoots create strong team-building atmosphere and allow members to network with other shooters in a high-energy, social setting.
