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!

I just wanted to say thank you to Randy Parker for his knowledge that he was able to share with me in the class and in the field. He was so patient with me and walked me through everything that the class has to offer. I could tell that he has been hunting for many years, he was also very big on safety with gun handling and where to have the perfect shot placement on the pig that he was leading me too. He taught me everything I needed to know on the range. We saw different trails and tracks that I will carry with me all the days of my hunting career. My wife came with my as a guest on the second day for the hunt and Randy made her feel like part of the team.Randy is also a good hearted man and fun to be around with and so easy to talk too. This class is well worth your time and money!! Randy showed me how to field dress the pig I shot and also how to skin it when we got back to the cleaning station.
