Established Tradition
At R&D Adventures and Hunting Preserve, we believe the best hunts are about far more than the birds you harvest. They are about the stories shared in the field, the excitement of watching a good bird dog work, and the memories made with family and friends that last a lifetime.
Owner and guide Dale Myers has spent more than 30 years around upland birds, developing a deep knowledge of the sport and a genuine passion for sharing it with others. He loves introducing new hunters to the outdoors, helping experienced hunters enjoy quality bird work, and watching well-trained dogs do what they were bred to do. Whether it's your first hunt or your fiftieth, Dale's goal is simple: to make you feel welcome, provide an exceptional hunting experience, and send you home with great memories and a desire to come back.
At R&D Adventures, you're not just booking a hunt. You're becoming part of a tradition built on hospitality, a love for the outdoors, great dogs, and unforgettable days in the field.
