You might as well just drive out to pleasant valley. I guide a good amount out there so I may be a little partial. Although I can't say how other places are ran but I can tell you that every single client that I have hunted with in the last 5 years has told me personally that they enjoy hickins hands down over any preserve/club in Utah. They cultivate their fields specifically for upland bird cover. All the washes are nice and thick and usually hold residual birds from previous hunts and such. As for the birds, I have heard horror stories of hunters having to literally kick the birds out of a pile of dirt to get them to fly. The birds out of hickins are great flyers and strong. Some of the hunts I had this year the guys have actually had a bit of a struggle knocking down some of the big hearty roosters that are out there. So anyways, PVHP has good membership rates and are very friendly. Also they are highly focused on the hunt as a whole. Make sure you enjoy yourself and get you plenty of opportunities to shoot your birds. I would be happy to take you out there this year and let you see what you can offer to any clients that you might want to show a good time. Also that place is fantastic for training a good dog. Right now it is very cold out there and there is a good amount of snow making it a little difficult to convince the birds play but the season goes till the end of march. It will start to get busy again after mid winter and we get some nicer days. Pm me I'll get you my number and I can answer any questions you have.
