Hunt Report 1-11-10
Lots of great hunts since the opener. Varing COLD weather.. It froze hard, warmed up and moved the birds around. Now it is getting colder again.
Ducks
:Our ponds are open. The ponds rested during the Christmas break. Had a great shoot today! Lots of ducks(like too many) in the area and refuges = food and resting to keep 'em here. Seems it is feast or famine. A few weeks the ducks were fickle nad thin....but we have had consistent limits recently. Very few spots open for ducks the remainder of the season, however. The forecast is for consistent cold, which will bring some consistent success as they feed on our fields and rest in our ponds.
Goose: Consistent success for almost all groups. Goose harvest has been about 85 to 95+% for groups, but then they had their opportunities too. Mixed bags of greaters and lessors. The guides just love sharing the exciting hunts.
A couple weeks ago, we had a contest with some our DropZones against some Big Foots. DZ's showed their worth!! Ask the guides when you hunt.
It is just plain exciting as the bird birds come in for a landing.
Don't miss out on some time in the great outdoors. Clears you mind and raises your spirits.
Some good dates left in January...give us a call. 509-545-8000.
Wishing all a Very Happy and safe New Year...

Location,
Location, Location...Burbank is the right
location for successful hunts all season long.
Burbank is at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers; the rivers bring them, but our fields keep'em.
Low elevation ' banana belt', moving rivers, spring feed ponds, grain fields = success all season long.
The rivers create a natural flyway path, leading the migratory birds right to our farms.
Burbank is approx. 500 miles inland from the ocean, yet it is only 500 feet above
sea level.
Low elevation and protection from the small mountains create unique
micro- climate.
Location + management = superb hunting all season long. With the fast water of the rivers, the
fertile land (abundant circle irrigated crops)
and minimal snow, Burbank holds birds all season long. |
Plan
ahead &
Book early to avoid disappointment.
The Calendar is filling quickly.
We turn many away,
especially for Paul's Ponds. |

1. Most of the private properties are owned which enable Burbank to manage the crops. Some are also leased
from fellow farmers which have key fields known for waterfowl.
We shoot limits from the beginning of the season
to the end. Why? Because of the right crops for feed, not over-pressuring
the fields and moving to where the birds are every day. Also, we
book fewer customers at the beginning of the season, and as the
migration builds up we book more hunters. We balance the number of birds with the number of hunters.
Paul meticulously oversees
all details and starts preparing for each season at the end of
the previous season.
Paul understands the critical nature of having
the right place (habitat), the proper
bird management techniques which are adaptable to needs
of the day, and having experience and professional guides to
provide a safe and successful outing.

2. Paul
Sullivan continually works on improving
the habitat, hunting blinds, decoys (designed his own), testing different
hunting techniques to ensure Burbank's success all season long. Experience comfortable shooting with in ground pits (typical
for geese) and portable above ground blinds (Maximus) which are
typical for Ducks. Our decoys are under the constant eye of the
guides to maintain them in top condition.
Of course the New state
of art DropZones™ and Full
Curls™ Decoys, are especially deadly...they are the most
realistic decoys found anywhere. These decoys are made by, by Aero

3.
All of Burbank's guides have
years of hunting and guiding experience. They go through
an extensive training program, after they have been qualified as
an outstanding hunter, quality caller and good with customers of
all ages. Safety is important.
Guides are familiar
with all types of hunters, from annual group hunts, to entire families
or corporate entertaining. They are all expert
callers (know when to call and when not to call) and nothing pleases
them more than seeing our return customers every year.
Guides love to share their passion, and see customers leave with harvested birds and smiles. Go
ahead and make their day - ask questions and learn and share the trills only the fresh outdoors and waterfowl have to offer. |
Book
your hunts early to avoid disappointment. Our dates sell
out quickly.
Many hunters book for the following season, as they leave each year.
