01 - Alabama Quail Hunt for 2

Wilson Outdoor Adventures has donated a quail hunt for TWO hunters at Dennis Lake Wing Club. The lodge is about 5 minutes off I-65 at the Stockton exit going toward Fairhope. The hunters will arrive after lunch for an afternoon hunt, dinner will be cooked for them (probably the quail they shot), spend the night at the lodge, have breakfast the following morning, hunt again, and depart before lunch. You will hunt over Chapter member Roger Avery's Britanny spaniels. The lodge is very nice and the hunters will have separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom between them. Each hunter will have the opportunity to take up to 12 quail on each hunt and can go over that number at an additional cost of $7.50 per bird. The quail will be cleaned and packaged for your trip home.

Chapter member Chris Williams has been on this hunt and can provide references.
