California Guided Upland Game

Bitterwater Outfitters offers guided California dove and quail hunts on our private ranches located in central California. Brush, oaks, grain fields and ponds make prime habitat for upland game. Both guided dove and quail hunts are exciting California hunts with access to 65,000 acres of private hunting land. The ranches have breathtaking views and you are sure to find your game. There is plenty of cover and they feed on the grain and alfalfa fields. We have seen a lot of hatches the past year. The population is strong and it looks like it will be a great upcoming season.

 You can combine a upland game hunt with any of our other guided California hunts to maximize your experience with Bitterwater Outfitters. Book today!

My experience with Clayton Grant and Bitterwater Outfitters was great. I give it a 10. From the minute we got there, Clayton was prepared, organized, and ready to go. We all knew what we were supposed to do. We all felt safe and Clayton had complete control over the entire hunt. Clayton knows where the game is and always puts people in the right spot to get their game.
