Like anyone living in the suburbs, finding places to bird hunt or just train and exercise our dogs,  meant packing the truck and hitting the road.  Public land is fine and reasonable--if you can find any with birds.  And then you have to share time and space with other recreationists.  Private land is better, but costly.  And not all plantations will allow you to hunt over your own dog.  We do recommend plantation hunting and do it ourselves when we can (our favorite plantation is 'Black Creek' in McIntyre, GA. (478)946-1435  http://blackcreeklodge.com).  But sometimes, you just want to shoot a few birds, work out some training kinks and/or enjoy the company of your own dog. 

 

Hence, ZZ Farms.  We purchased this 140 acres in south Baldwin County (10 miles from Milledgeville) in early 2003 for the simple reason that it contained wild bobwhite quail.  Friends and fellow hunters soon arrived, and a business was born.  We keep our costs and numbers low because we can.  We provide no lodging, no meals, no guide services---just excellent habitat and exceptional birds.  When we are not hunting ourselves, we enjoy field trialing with our Weimaraners and horses.
