Wil-Nor Hunt Club, located just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, was one of our stops on our trip back to Colorado after participating in the 2009 AKC Gun Dog Championships.  Upon arrival one of the first people to greet us was Bill Kunz.  He showed us around the property and even let me take my good dog Solo for a couple of laps around their bird dog training field.  Solo was very happy to be out of the truck and looking for birds. Anything to stretch his legs.

Unfortunately we were unable to meet with Eric Varnadore, the proprietor of Wil-Nor Hunt Club, as he was competing at a NSTRA trial.  It's good to see people doing what they love and we hope Eric did well at the trial.  We did meet a good number of members who were glad to see us and tell me about their club.  They were excited to let me know that they had thousands of acres on which to hunt their favorite species.

Not only does Wil-Nor Hunt Club offer dog training and quail, chukar and pheasant hunts but the membership, as well as non-members, can also hunt Whitetail deer, turkey and rabbits. Not bad for what seems to be a very reasonable price.

You can go to their website at www.wil-nor.com and get all the information you need.

It was great to see everyone and get a taste for what it's like to be a member of one of the premier hunt clubs in Missouri.
