| Comments: By far the best hunting place I have been to in Iowa. It is exactly like hunting wild birds. Very fair chase & not a canned hunt at all. Dog work (pointers)is phenomenal. The guide has no more idea where the birds are than you do (unlike some other places.)Great cleaning facilities. A first class operation all the way! |

| Comments: Highland Hideaway, for me, has become synonymous with "an oasis".
The excellant facilities, the beautiful rolling landscape, and all the wonderful friends I've met. The complete package. The complete getaway. |

| Comments: I am a novice hunter at best, just starting this year and my second Pheasant Hunting experience being at Highland. I was lucky enough to be with experienced bird hunters, and had the treat of hunting with 5 amazing dogs. 2 Czech Poodle Pointers, and 3 short hairs. Needless to say the hunt was like a palestian wedding... Birds flying, or running in every direction.. I literally shot a full 25 box of shells, and came out with one bird... (every shot safe of course) at least i'm going with this story... Loved the experience the people, the food... and the hunt...!! |

| Comments: Is it October 1st and you and your dog can't wait until the end of the month to get on some birds ? Are you having some friends or relatives in for the weekend and they dont want to spring 90 bucks for an Iowa Hunting License ? Plus then you have to find a Landowner who will let you roll in with 3 cars and 5 guys ? How hard is that ? And then you may or may not get some shooting. How about taking a kid hunting where he will see some birds and get some shots off ? And then after January 10 how about extending the season by almost 3 full months ? Thats when Highland is at its best - after the Wild Season ends on those perfect Iowa weather days when it is so much fun to be outside and you just have to go hunting. Highland isn't the answer to everything but it is the answer to all these problems. An added plus is you always get to deal with people you know - Ron, Ryan or Kate will be around to provide great hospitality and service for you and your guests. After a great hunt be sure to warm up around my old woodstove which will most likely be burning on cold days when you get back to The Lodge. |

| Comments: We have been coming out for about 5 years and keep coming back. Have had 5 different guides and 10 different dogs and all were quite good.
Ron and Ryan make you feel at home and we always have a lot of fun. Whether you are an experienced hunter or brand new, Highland will be a rewarding experience for you. |

| Comments: I have been chasing ringnecks around Iowa for 30years and was somewhat skeptical when invited to hunt on a preserve. I had heard others describe how preserve hunts were somewhat like shooting butterflies. I am hear to tell you that may be true at some other preserves, but NOT at Highland Hideaway Hunting! This is as close to wild bird hunting as it gets! These birds are strong flyers and plenty wiley enough to humble even an experienced hunter. From the hunt to the sporting clays course (the best I have been on) down to the cleaning facility, the lodge and the meals, these guys do not miss a thing. Highland Hideaway Hunting is a MUST visit for any hunter/shooter of any skill level. Come see Ron, Ryan and Kate and become part of their Highland family! |

| Comments: What a fantastic experience! The hunting was first class all the way.
Our guide Blake Boyd & his wonderful "family" of pointers were a real pleasure to watch in action. Everything about HH exceeded our expectations. Ryan,Ron & staff are the ultimate hosts in every way....we couldn't have felt more at home if we had been sitting in our own living rooms.
I highly recommend HH for the ultimate in midwestern bird hunting and down home Iowa hospitality at its very best

| Comments: Our group has been hunting at Oakwood Hunting Resort (Sigorney, Ia.) for many years until recently when they closed. This year our group decided to try Highland Hideaway Hunting Resort and were pleasantly suprised at the exceptional accomodations, gormet country style cuisine, and the fantastic hunting (great birds). Ryan & Ron are top drawer and exceeded all our expectations. We will definately be back again next year. Thanks for great time we had. |
