The Covey Rise — Full Day
$4,700 Monday–Thursday
$5,200 Friday–Sunday & holidays
Up to four hunters, one price
Two full sessions with the dogs, and a proper sit-down lunch at the Farm House Lodge in between. Roughly double the birds and double the covey work of a half day — and priced deliberately below two separate half days on the same date.
Why a full day rather than two half days
Because the second session is where it gets good. The dogs are settled, you have found your rhythm on the covey rises, and the afternoon fields hunt differently from the morning ones. Most people who shoot a full day here tell us the last hour was the best of it.
It is also the most efficient booking we sell if you are driving any distance — one trip, one lunch, twice the hunting.
What is included
- Two guided sessions over field trial bred pointing dogs
- Roughly 25 to 35 covey rises across the day on a typical outing
- Unlimited bag across both sessions
- A home-cooked Southern lunch at the lodge between sessions
- Birds cleaned, packaged and iced at no extra charge
- Exclusive use of over 220 acres for the whole day
Make it an overnight
If you would rather not drive home after a full day of walking, The Champions Hunt puts a night at the lodge, a steak dinner and a hot breakfast between two sessions instead.
Booking terms

- Kentucky sales tax of 6% applies. Gratuity is not included — 15–20% is customary if your guide made the day.
- No hunting license required. Backcountry is a licensed Kentucky shooting preserve.
- Season runs August 15 through April 15.
