What are the dates you're open?
We are open August 1st to March 31st for Chukar Partridge and September 15th to March 31st for Pheasants. We may go longer if we are trying to clear out some birds for the summer. Daily hours are 7:00-5:00, and we are open every day except Christmas Day, and some of the days in the gun deer season. Management does reserve the right to be closed on any day we deem necessary, however we will make every effort to accommodate your needs.
Are you a state licensed facility?
Yes, we are licensed as a Class A game farm with the State of Wisconsin, which requires a couple of things to be done including reporting how many birds we sell annually and how many of those birds were harvested. You are required to have a receipt with you to show that the birds that you have in your possession came from a game farm and are not wild birds, so please do not leave the farm without your receipt.
I see you are asking for personal information on your website. How will this information be used?
This information will be used to inform you of season specials that we are running or to announce upcoming tower hunts. We may be running end of the year specials that would drastically discount bird prices and need a quick way to reach past customers as soon as possible. We will not badger you to use our facility throughout the year or sell your information to a secondary market. This will be used to inform you of specials, price changes, or future tower hunts only.
Do you require blaze orange and eye protection?
No, we do not require it, but we do highly suggest it for our normal hunts. We do require safety glasses and a blaze orange jacket or vest on our tower hunts. Providing you with a safe, and successful hunt is goal number one at Cedar Hill.
Do you need a license to hunt at Cedar Hill Game Farm?
No license is needed; however you do need to be at least ten years old. The new legislation that allows 10 and 11 year olds to hunt has been passed and goes into effect on September 1st, 2009. The regulations can be viewed on the dnr website at www.wisconsindnr.org. Go to the hunting page, then click on hunting regulations on the left in the green, then mentored hunting. All the criteria is laid out for both the hunter and the mentor. In short, only one firearm is allowed between the child and the mentor. For 12 year olds and up, both the child and the mentor may carry a firearm after the youth has completed the hunter safety program. Again please refer to the dnr website or call a service center for all the details.
May I shoot anything other than Pheasants and Chuker Partridge?
We offer pheasant and chuker hunts only as this is all our state license will allow. However, many of our hunters do report seeing a number of other wild animals while hunting at our farm. You may see fox, coyote, ducks, geese, rabbits, turkeys, many types of birds, or one of our local whitetail deer. Seeing one of our residents in their natural setting will make your experience even more memorable.
Is alcohol permitted?
No alcoholic beverages are permitted to be consumed before or during your hunt. Your group's safety is our first priority. Coffee, soda, and bottled water will be on hand at no charge in our clubhouse .
