Last Rooster Standing

Last Rooster Standing operates as an upland bird hunting preserve in Washtucna, Washington—75 miles northeast of the Tri-Cities and 90 miles southwest of Spokane. This isn't a "put-and-take" operation grinding through birds. It's about watching quality bird dogs work, and having a real time doing it.

"We are not the biggest. We are not the fastest. We might not even be the best (yet), but we know dogs, we know people and we know how to have a really good time."

The preserve's entire approach centers on bird dogs. Their dogs compete in the National Shoot to Retrieve Association (NSTRA) circuit and American Kennel Club/American Field trials. These are hard-charging dogs that will work 400-500 yards in front of you, find birds, and hold them. The preserve acknowledges that even great dogs make mistakes—if a dog bumps or blows birds, they make it right.

Pheasant Hunts: - Non-Guided: 10 roosters, up to 2 hunters + 2 youth (under 16) = $500 half-day. Additional roosters $40, hens $35 - Guided: 10 roosters, half-day = $600 (includes lunch). Full-day option with 10 roosters and 8 hens = $950 - Youth hunt at no additional charge

The preserve doesn't try to compete on price. Roosters run $40-50 and hens $35-40, matching regional competitors. Instead, they focus on experience guarantees:

• •Best cover in the industry designed to resemble wild-bird hunts
• •Loaner equipment: Extra guns, bird dogs, tracking/training collars if needed
• •Service details: Help cleaning birds, hot coffee, guidance for young hunters
• •Experience guarantee: "If you do not have a great time, you do not pay"

Guides are hunters themselves. The emphasis is on letting quality dogs work naturally. First-time hunters should expect the guide to manage pace—there's never any running in the bird field, even when a dog is working 400+ yards out. This takes patience, but it's how you hunt birds properly.
