While the majority of our hunts are behind pointing or flushing dogs, tower shoots, or continental shoots, are also very popular at Markover. Twelve stations, or buts, are positioned at various distances surrounding the central tower. Each station, containing 2 shooters, is arranged to keep the visibility of the tower at a bare minimum, if at all. Birds are released from the central tower, 6-7 at a time, and fly full speed over the tree tops creating an extremely challenging shot for even the most seasoned shooter. The shooters rotate stations after an equal number of birds have been released so that everyone has an opportunity to shoot at that day's hot stations. Halfway through the day we break for a hearty lunch at the lodge. Following lunch we head back to the fields for the remaining afternoon portion of the shoot. Springers, Labs and Goldens along with their handlers retrieve the downed birds as the shoot progresses. All birds are evenly divided between the shooters at the end of the day and can be traded for cleaned birds for a small fee. No ammo restrictions No hunting license required (in-state and out-of-state) Two shooters per station Safety glasses and hearing protection is advised Please wear outdoor clothing including all terrain boots and either a hunter orange hat or vest Minimum age is 13 years old A lunchtime meal is served prior to second half of shoot All birds are evenly divided between shooters at day's end Birds traded/cleaned for a small fee Bring a cooler to take birds home.

Whether it's low, well-managed brush cover, idle cropfields or woodland habitat, we have you covered. While it would be easy to plant vast fields of grasses and walk away, we know from 50 years of hunting experience that those types of simplistic approaches to creating cover don't work. That's why our main focus at Markover is the careful planning, executing and maintaining rich cover to create the diverse conditions of our hunting fields that generations of hunters have come to expect and enjoy. Interspersed with patches of native praire grass and intermittent low pines, you'll find our fields to be ideal for full season bird cover. Most of our off-season at Markover is spent maintaining and establishing our diverse cover. As the seasons pass, you'll find that our ground growth and foliage offerings change while continuing to offer quality bird holding areas that are available all year long without sacrificing huntability. Picturesque and well-maintained, you'll find the views throughout our fields to be a spectacular addition to your hunting experience. 6 main hunting fields 300+ acres Large group hosting - up to 15 hunters at a time (groups of up to 4) No combined groups - you hunt with your friends/family Lone hunters are welcome weekdays & as openings allow on weekends
