The Bowl
Probably our most requested course, The Bowl is a combination of hedgerows, open grasslands, steep ravine and creek bottom. One of the most natural pheasant habitats you'll find in Ontario. It makes for a challenging and exciting hunt. This year, the crop surrounding the course is soybeans.
