There is a place in Utah...

Castle Valley Outdoors, located on a 16,000 acre working cattle ranch in south-central Utah, is a premier wingshooting and big game hunting lodge with plenty of solitude and services. It consistently offers Utah's best pheasant hunting. Kick back and let the big picture come into focus in our comfortable, well-equipped lodges, spacious bedrooms and expansive dining room, with gourmet country cooking and an oversized stone fireplace that sparks easy conversation.

We are an Orvis Endorsed Wingshooting Lodge.

We have recently added turkey hunting to our list of guided hunting activities. See photos from our first hunt.

Wingshooting

There's a sound a pheasant makes when you flush it out. It's exhilarating, it's hard to describe, but you never forget it.

Castle Valley Outdoors is hunter's paradise. We've dedicated over 4,000 acres of prime pheasant hunting habitat that provides excellent cover and feed for our upland game bird population. Pheasant, chukar and quail are abundant on our extensive properties. Enjoy wingshooting experiences hunting early release birds (easy to moderate terrain) or work a little harder hunting wild birds (moderate terrain).

Our German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizsla are some of the finest bird hunters in the west. Read what Gun Dog Magazine said about our dogs. Also read this account by Bob McNally of Mossy Oak.

There's not much like watching good gun dogs working well. German shorthairs were originally bred in Germany to be a hunting dog that could do it all. At a time when it was common for hunters to own many dogs for different purposes, the early Shorthair breeders believed one dog could do many tasks. Over time the German Shorthair has become one of the most popular pheasant hunting dogs due to their superb hunting skills, strong noses, strong bird desire and a natural retrieving instinct. Our well trained gun dogs will put you onto pheasants, guaranteed!

Whether your group includes beginners or experienced hunters, Castle Valley Outdoors will personalize a wingshooting experience to fit your specific needs. Bring your corporate clients, colleges, or favored staff, or your favorite hunting friends. Our people specialize in making your wingshooting experience or executive retreat a once in a lifetime, every time.

Package hunts range from our Complete Service - Premier Upland Game Bird Hunt (includes - Mixed Bag Bird Hunting, No Bag Limit, Lodging and Accommodations in our finest Castle Valley Lodge, Gourmet Country Meals, Sporting Clays and Shells, Professional Guided Hunting, Quality Gun Dogs, Game Processing and Packaging and access to other listed activities)to our traditional 10 Pheasant Bird Hunt (includes lodging, meals, guided hunting, gun dogs, and game processing). We also offer full or half day 'per bird' hunting opportunities.

Head right into the field or spend some time at the trap range shooting sporting clays to polish up your skills before your wingshooting experience. All wingshooting guns, shells and equipment can be provided.

We also organize big game hunts (in season). Elk and Mule deer are found in the mountains near our ranch and on our private property. Our guides know the area and know where to find the big ones.
