Old Hickory Shooting Preserve and Kennels located in Pulaski, Tennessee

All my life I have engaged in hunting and fishing. It has truly been my passion, right after my family.

My mother told me if I didn’t quit hunting with my old bird dogs and concentrate more on school, I’d never graduate. Well, I believe that was the only time Mom was wrong. I even attended Three Rivers Junior College in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, while I began working for Wal- Mart right after high school and before I was drafted into the U. S. Army. After my tour with Uncle Sam, I returned to Wal-Mart management for 22 years. I was transferred to some great hunting states (Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Tennessee). I retired to Tennessee in 1992 where the hunting and fishing were great.

The decrease in the wild quail population, prompted me to begin Old Hickory Shooting Preserve. We raise and train some of the best pointing dogs in the south. We breed about ten litters a year of Pointers, Setters, Brittanys and German Shorthair Pointers. My breeding crosses are made with one thing in mind - creating a great hunting dog and family companion that you will be proud of for years to come. I also, have a few started dogs and finished dogs on hand most of the time. For the past several years, I have had standing orders for finished dogs from a couple of the largest shooting preserves in the United States and Mexico.

Come by for a hunt and I guarantee you will have a great time and get in a little shooting practice. We shoot quail, chukar and pheasant from September 15th through March 15th. Also, in the spring during the state season is turkey hunting, my true passion. I also have deer hunting and a great float trip down the creek for some small mouth and red-eye fishing. Just give me a call anytime or send me an e-mail for more information.
